1. What is your name / nickname /age / occupation

Mark Doney aged 29. Gardener

2. What did you first come here for?

I came across GURU3D about 6 years ago. I wanted to upgrade my GPU from a Ti200 as it was starting to struggle in the games I wanted to play. Back then i was on quite a tight budget so i thought i should read a few reviews on the latest cards on the market. Its was because of GURU's review that made me buy my first ATI card, a 9500Pro. I signed up to the forums soon after because the community was fantastic. With the help of some fellow GURU's i flashed by card to 9700pro speeds. Its because of the community feel that i have stuck around all these years.

3. What do you mainly use the system for?

I mainly use my PC for gaming. Nothing like pwning soom noobs after a hard days work

4. How much money did you spend on the rig as it is right now?

I've spent a little over £1200 on this rig so far. I've been very fortunate as some of my parts were bought from MikeMK. We've been best mates since school. Very useful man to know as he upgrades every 30mins lol

5. How often do you update/buy a new rig?

I tend to buy parts as I need them so as something becomes outdated i replace it. Most upgraded part would be the GPU.
