    Why does anyone make an internets clan? There is no material advantage to it. We get no money from it, no resources, nothing tangible at all. Perhaps it is a longing for identity, a sense of belonging, and shared values, the very things that have been destroyed by the scourge of liberal-capitalist individualism. Perhaps we all secretly desire to pwn peoples' faces and flame them afterwards. Perhaps a trollface.jpg lurks within all our hearts. Perhaps it is all of those things. It is possible to perceive similarities between the growth of clans and the post-war rise in football fan clubs, new age cults, and religious fundamentalism. As our leaders neglected collectivist concepts like "the nation" and encouraged capitalist individualism and atomistic self-interest, we looked to other forms of collective identity to fill the void. And that, perhaps, is what the TW community really is. A haven of camaraderie and collectivism in a self-interested, materialist and individualistic world.

    To be blunt, you got no chance. £200 for decent GPU, another £100 for an OK mobo that'll last you, £30 for a decent case (Nothing really spectacular at this price), £100-150 for a CPU that won't bottleneck your higher end card, £50-75 for a decent PSU that won't glitch and potentially wreck everything else, £100 for a 64-bit windows, another £30 at least for the RAM. Basically, you are looking at minimum £600 for a PC with any hope of smooth FPS at high/ultra (I'm assuming DirectX11 at 1920x1080), never mind any extras like a dedicated sound card, really good case, monitor, speakers, mouse or keyboard. Your budget could probably stretch to medium (Unless you have a Windows 7 already, but it has to be 64-Bit). Also Xfire won't record in HD to my knowledge. FRAPS free takes screenshots at your resolution, but its the £40 full version for certain image formats and video recording.
