I can sell you an old umbrella for that, but you'll have to pay the postage.

A bit of a stretch, there.

Well that's the problem of being german, everybody considers you to be rich but in fact most people just have 20c in the pocket

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Ha!
All the adjacent roads are nominally connected. I didn't even notice that!

That wasn't stupidity or sucking up; it was an act of cruelty -- have you seen Singaporeans try to pronounce "Commonwealth"?

FTFY. The only time I was on the phone with a Singaporean technician I had to plead for a text chat.
I think from the outside it was funny: a heavy Italian accent contrasted to a heavy Singaporean one, practically a gag from Laurel & Hardy.

Have you ever seen a cauc (aussie but it applies to many others) try and explain to a Singaporean taxi driver which Commonwealth he actually wants!

It's a statement of fact. Murders do kill. Look it up on google. 100% fatality rate.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Derived from the Middle Dutch "moeder kille", or "mother river", perhaps?
That seems to be the accepted origin of the Murderkill River[^], at least.

So this weekend I put my desktop PC on the kitchen table and had grand plans of going back to PC gaming.
Turned out my PC got a bit slow so I decided to do a clean install (Windows 7).
Unfortunately it remained slow and, worse, kept hanging on updates and installs.
It's pretty useless to me now and I've put enough time into getting it to work again.
I'm now looking for a new PC and I figure it should last me at least five years.
Unfortunately I know very little about hardware.
I found the following:
Intel® Core i7-6700 (3,4 GHz) (4 cores)
8GB RAM
240 GB SSD
2TB SATA
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 (2.048 MB)
And of course Windows 10 Home 64-Bit (OEM)
The only thing that's really bothering me is the price tag: €999,- 
I could go a little cheaper, but now that I'm going to spend money anyway...
Would be a major bummer if I spent a lot of money and couldn't play the newest games.

Five years? 
I'd double or quadruple the RAM.

The one I have now is about five years old. It worked fine until, well, last weekend.
Unfortunately, doubling the RAM is relatively expensive.
I found a good PC just like the one I had in mind, but double RAM, something about CPU turbo boost, blu-ray burner (instead of DVD, but the last time I burned a CD must've been in high school).
It costs €200,- more, but I'd only do it for the RAM.
I could buy an extra RAM card, but even that is an extra €70 to €80.

I think that's well worth it. I put 16GB on my laptop, which I now use as my main dev box, it's soooo quiet, and hey, the built-in battery backup has been really helpful when the vacuum cleaner blew the circuit breaker, hahaha. The 16GB gives me room to do a ton of things, including running an Ubuntu VM with 8GB dedicated to it.

I've just paid £40.00 for 8G of ram from a company in Birmingham.

I second this. 16GB is the absolute minimum I would put in a new machine, and if you could leave room to expand to 32 in the future it would be a good idea.

Under 700 euro's (though my spec is two or three years old)
Intel Core i3-32170 @1.80GHz (4 cores)
16 Gb RAM
128 Gb SSD
Custom built with Win7 preinstalled as I know nothing about hardware either. Uses 65 Watt when turned on - compare that to your desktop. No moving parts either, no fan, no harddisk - just silence and a Windows that boots in 4 seconds.
