My EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Gaming PC

    This year for Christmas my main gift was parts to build a gaming computer. So I thought I would share the steps I took when putting it together.

    The first step was to pick out all the components for the PC. This was the most time consuming task of the entire build. After hours of research, reading reviews and looking at specs sheets I had a good idea of what components I needed and what good brands are and etc. But as with anything that is piece built there is always a some uncertainty that all the parts will fit and work well together. That is where I found the help of pcpartpicker.com
this site is an incredibly helpful tool through the entire process. You can save parts lists and price them out from different stores around the internet, it even take into account sales and mail in rebates to fine you the best prices. Possibly the most helpful tool is the compatibility checker, it will alert you if any parts on your list are not compatible and it will tell you where the issue is. You can also look at builds from other people that use the same components that you are looking at using.

So you can find my parts list HERE at my build page on pcpartpicker.com

Easy Money! 3 Simple ways to earn some extra cash with your smart phone.

     Money is always tight around the holidays so I figured I would share a few way that I personally make a few extra bucks just using my smart phone. I have used all of these and can tell you they work and are not a scam.








      First up is an app called "1Q" and  it is literally just that. You answer one question and you get either   $1.00 or $0.50 it is that simple. After downloading the app "1Q" and setting up your account you get a notification when there is a survey question for you, the catch is you only have a limited amount of time to answer it. The downside to this app is that is that you do not get questions very often....or at least I do not. You can find 1Q online HERE, on Google Play and in the iTunes APP Store

     Second is an app by Google by the name of "Google Opinion Rewards" and like the previous app you sign up and get notified when there is a survey for you to take. The surveys vary in length but still take less than 3 minutes to complete. As payment for taking the survey you get a credit put into your Google play account. So this is not "real" money but I have bought several app from the play store with the credit I have earned. You can also use it for book, music and movies anything in the play store. It can be found HERE or by searching the play store on your phone. Sorry not available for Apple for obvious reasons.

     Lastly is the app that I have made the most money using over $50 and the money can go straight into your Paypal account, it is called "AppTrailers". The way it works is you watch advertisements for apps and in return you get points the points can be redeemed for lots of different gift cards and even into your Paypal account. A good way I have found to rack up points is to just watch the same ad over and over while I'm just sitting watching TV or doing other mindless activities. You can find AppTrailers HERE or on Google Play on your phone and also on iTunes.

Let me know what you think about the apps or if you have other money making apps in the comments section below.
