Finally shall ascend to the master race! (Story)

This will be a long story, but bear with me.

Since I was 5, I have played on consoles. ps2 to ps3 then Xbox 360. My dad was as programmer, not a gamer, so he bought his computers from best buy like a filthy peasant. I received his old PC with a Intel Pentium, 4 gigs ram, no GPU, and all around shit specs. I had no clue this PC was bad for gaming until I downloaded my first PC exclusive, minecraft. I struggled to push 15 fps with all settings low. I still played tho, I learned to accept it. I became my teams dedicated builder as I had no combat skill because I was a few frames behind at all times.

I mainly played on Xbox 360, but I was happy because all my friends were on it. But something on the horizon would change my life, next gen consoles. My friends split. Some went with the (far superior imo) ps4 because of it's offerings while others stayed at home on the Xbox. I however, wasn't so lucky. My parents hated games. They refused to buy me a new console. I have been playing the 360 for the past 3 years.

I got a PC upgrade 2 years ago, however it was a double hand-me down $300 laptop from 2010. No GPU but at least it had an i3. I still couldn't push 20 fps in minecraft. I had abandoned minecraft at that point, I didn't want anything to do with pc gaming. I put all my effort into school because I could get a ps4 if I got straight A grades, for 2 years straight I failed that. My Xbox was dying, I put in black ops 3 for 360 and I knew I was screwed, but there was no alternative.

Around April my friends convinced me to get CSGO, I told them about my situation but they told me it ran on anything. I bought it and they were right to some extent. 800x600 everything low, I got 25 fps. I was ecstatic. I still lost almost every engagement, but I thought it was just me being bad. My dad told me he was upgrading his PC, so I can have his old one with similar specs to my laptop, however it had a PCIE slot open. I was happy because I could finally get into new games with my new pc friends and ditch my 360. I was patiently waiting for my dad to get his new PC.

Just a week ago, ibuypower hosted a free play event on their systems. I went with friends to get the full esport experience. I played CSGO like a pro compared to before. I finally got above 1kdr and I realised how I was bottlenecking myself.

I will be getting my 950 next paycheck. I have my dad's PC ready for it. It's not the best PC in the world, but I just need something to run new games at 720p above 30 fps, and this build will probably surpass 60 fps at 720p on games like black ops 3 and gta 5.

I am home
