<human>: Hi r/needadvice, it's my first time here! So I just turned 18, and am attending college studying computer science. I work as a dog grooming assistant (part-time/minimum wage) and have a small web design firm on the side. Long story short, I spend %70 of my day on my computer. I built the rig myself 3-4 years ago, and have made small upgrades as needed. Unfortunately, my baby has not been preforming up to snuff lately, and is starting to affect my work and school. Needless to say, it's time for an upgrade as soon as possible. I have gathered everything needed for the workstation and am hoping to spend ~$1800 on all of the components (via newegg.com). Unfortunately, my parents aren't in a position to help me finance this purchase, and saving up for something like this on my income would take a very long time.

This is where you guys come in. I need to know wether or not this is a good idea, and if it is, I need serious help deciding a purchase method (CC, Website payment plans, Bill me later, etc). I have no clue how exactly I can do something like this by myself without screwing my credit for the future. 

Here are some things I have tried that have not worked out:

* Newegg's preffered service - A credit line established through newegg. Applied but was not approved.

* Paypal's Bill Me Later - Applied but was not approved.

* Student credit cards - Was going to apply for the Journey student card through Visa, but I dont think the base credit limit is high enough to make the purchase.

There aren't many recources I could find on the internet that deal with situations like mine. Would something like a student loan apply to a school computer?

Give me a shortened version of the text
