I Need Money Now

So i'm currently saving up for my dream PC ($10,000) and being a shelf stocker that only has 1-2 days per week to work at a super market, you could imagine the pay is quite low so i have to do 6 hours to get a decent pay (AUD $144).

I currently don't go to university/college since i am needed at home to help my mum keep my dad in good order as he is suffering from vascular dementia and as you could imagine that puts a great strain on the family.

It is very difficult to save money in order to achieve my new, dream pc so i guess my point is that if anyone is kind and generous enough to provide any sum of money to me in order to be a step closer to my dream PC.

Thank you for reading my story and i would like to thank in advance to those who have donated generously, you are incredible and i hope that by donating to me you have made yourself happy as you have made me happy too.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I'm not gonna be surprised if no one donates and i understand that $10000 is excessive but it is for a computer that is going to last 8+ years so it is a realistic figure, its just that i'm going through a tough time especially family and every little bit of help counts, makes it easier to relieve stress when i have a break from real life problems especially when i have to help my mum look after my dad every day of the week, i rarely get to go outside as i have to stay at home and look after my dad and my brother is in year 12 at school so he can't really help me.

Any amount helps.

God bless

@mechtler3 this computer will not be a top performer for 8+ years. In five years you'll be looking for something new. That's a cost of $2k per year. You could get a new computer every year for that kinda money.

Have you benchmarked this system? Picking the highest priced components doesn't mean you'll have a great computer. In fact, such computers often perform poorly.

@SooperSarah i never said that it is going to be a top performer for 8+ years and i do understand that some of the highest priced components may no be worth the money at all, thats why i've done my research when it comes to picking the correct components.

A 10,000 dollar computer? You can get a used car, laptop, a phone, and a bunch of other stuff for that money.... man.

@soulsrespite Im talking about a next generation type of computer, that includes SLI (Scalable Link Interface) with dual Nvidia 2080 GTX TI graphics card, and with the top of the line motherboard. The two graphics cards themselves will cost $4000 in total, the motherboard will be around about 1500-2000 dollars and then the RAM Sticks will cost around about 500 considering im going for 64 gigs of RAM.

The rest of the money will go towards accessories for the new computer such as a 4K Screen and an additional screen to do my gaming streams on and for ease of access for secondary software's that i will be using to stream and record on.

I went onto a website to see how much all of the components would cost with the labour in putting it all together and originally it was $18,000 but i found a store in the city that would do it for way less than that so im planning to go there once i have the money to get the parts that i need.

And according to several websites as to the pricing of a high end gaming computer it would cost between $6,000-$10,000, So as you know i am being realistic with my pricing, plus i already have everything else in my life except replacing my old dying computer with one that will last me 8+ years, so that this $10,000 will be going a long way and it will definitely be worth it.

And why do you need a 10,000 dollar PC ?
