So, I built my current PC about a year and a half ago, with my parents paying for the cost of all the parts ;-; Now, my computer has been starting to act up and not functioning like it used to (overheating randomly, cant handle games it used to be able to) and I've been thinking of bringing it up to my parents that maybe now would be a good time to get a new, better PC? The only reason I'm apprehensive to ask them is because they already paid for my current PC, and they recently got me an iPhone for graduating...

Any help on how to ask them / convince them? Or just advice in general, am I being too spoiled in trying to ask for a new computer? I don't know, that's why I'm making this thread :p

Just approach them and say "My PC has been acting up can I maybe get some new parts?" Then go on to say you will do chores (if you wish) or something beneficial to them in exchange for the new parts.

The best way to get it done successfully is to tell them what you'd like, and then offer a way to complete your goal. If you present your idea in an organized and mature way, the results will be in your favor.
