Help me choose new components for my computer.

[Jackal_Strain]

Here's what happened. My girlfriend didn't see the need to shut off my computer properly and now it's fucked. I need a new motherboard, cpu, ram and probably a new graphics card as well (though this isn't essential).

I'm a total noob when it comes to these things, so I'd appreciate some help in choosing these parts. My budget is aproximately 650€$.

What did she do? Set it on fire to shut it down?

How did your computer break down for not being properly shut down?

Have to admit, this occurred to me as well

Pulling the plug... The sims 3 froze on her, and instead of calling me, she took matters into her own hands...

Break up with her

Sorry to insist, but as you said you were a newbie, are you sure EVERYTHING broke down?

No, I'm pretty sure only my hd got seriously fucked, but i see this as an opportunity to upgrade everything else.

+1 dexter, I call BS, even pulling the power chord directly from the wall will only result in registry errors which if there are enough of them will prevent the computer from starting correctly. Registry errors can also happen from programs crashing or downloading corrupt files off the web or even corrupted files that have resulted in viruses. If the computer is messed up to the point of booting normally the windows recovery console is a great thing. just pop your CD in while the PC is booting up and make sure the CD Drive is set to boot before the HDD in the bios and run the recovery console so you can run a chkdsk (check disk utility).

Should fix the job. If by chance you had a hardware failure, it wasn't from your idiot girlfriend, that was just a coincidence although hardware in question could fail as a result in program crashes and say pulling the power, but that means that piece was about to go anyway in the very not so distant future.

Sounds like she was surfing for porn and got a nasty virus!
Anyway, if its a PC, you'll need anti spyware this, anti firewall that, norton whatever the fuck its called, symmtec gizmos etc, should cover ya 650!
