    You really are a marvellous bunch here! I know it must sometimes seem like I'm not listening or taking on board what I'm being told, but as I've stated, this is quite literally my first foray into PC gaming - unless playing pool at miniclip.com counts!

    I am, as you suspect, a budget gamer. And when I say budget gamer, that means I don't have a single penny to spend on upgrades, etc, right now. I was hoping to sell on an unwanted phone upgrade, but that didn't work out because they've put a stop to this practice now - at least for the first six months of them sending you the phone - and beside that they won't give me an upgrade anyway on my current tariff.

    Anyway, I digress. If I do have any real intentions to get into PC gaming, it will mainly be for city-sim type games, rather than the GPU-frying stuff like Arma or DayZ.

    I'm loving Tropico 4, but desperately want Cities Skylines and Roller Coaster World because of the 'realistic' route these games have taken, in place of the more cartoony style of the old city-building games.

    To sum up, if I'm ever in a financial position to upgrade / improve, I certainly know where to come.
