That all being said I was going to spend the money on buying World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria and 1 months subscription. Unfortunately on Tuesday the 23rd of April the power supply in my computer decided to die taking with it the video card. I have a spare power supply but it's only 400 watt and it's quite old like nearly 8 years old so it will need replacing soon enough. Anyway I have ordered a new video card.

| GPU Z ATI HD 7750 2GB |
I spent $131.41 cents including courier on an ATI HD 7750 which according to a review written days ago is the most powerful video card in its bracket for the money and it's also the most powerful before needing an external power supply. In other words it draws all it's current from the PCI-E slot. According to GPU Z it's nearly twice as powerful, maybe two thirds as my old card which I paid $185 for back in 2010. Plus is has 2gb of ram. My old card an ATI HD 5670 had only 1gb.
I also spent $12 Dollars on couriering 2gb of ddr2 800 MHz of ram that I bought that was faulty and made my machine crash periodically. It was $6 each way as it had to go to Auckland where I bought it from.
My mum paid some of the cost of the video card but it means that I can't play World of Warcraft as all my hard won Diablo 3 money went on the video card.
So anyway that's it. All my extra money I earnt has gone.... Although, I have been getting a few sales recently and my Paypal balance will be up to $58 US dollars by this time tomorrow once some money has cleared. I still had $10 in there from when I withdrew the $90 but this does mean I have earnt yet another $48 dollars since the 21st of April 2013. I earnt like $150 US total in a month from March 28th when I very first started trading in D3 to now.
