So I was actually kinda thinking of cutting back on the upgrades; just pumping up my raw processing power (which is severely lacking at the moment), and using my current video card. Wouldn't you know? It picks a perfect time to start dying. It also diagnosed itself: after playing games for roughly half an hour, the textures start repeating themselves on-screen, and then it crashes. No, it doesn't crash - it flat-out quits as if I just hit Alt-F4.
Yay. I hope it bloody lasts another month, because I don't even have an on-board video card. Which means nothing for the monitor to plug into if it dies. Which means... well, figure it out. >_>
