The Hard Drive and a few ither things are going to be given to me by my friend, for free :). And I have 1gig of RAM. After I get it all hooked up, I'll post the pictures.

Nice system. Certainly way more machine than I would need. :mrgreen:

 

 

 

I'm not sure if your buddy is providing one, but don't forget a power supply.

Whoa...That's my moniter... :-k :-k

I *think* the case includes a built in power supply?

 

 

 

Could be wrong but they usualy do.

Ummm, a lot of gaming. And of course the regular old stuff.

 

As of now it's the computer that's going to have to get me through college too.

heh i'm hoping to upgrade once I get to college and get a job, you know get settled in and all.

 

 

 

For the most part my PC is a fine gaming machine, I just wanna upgrade my video card (using a 6600GT atm, wanna get a 7600GT :D)

Pretty stupid to build a computer now, should've waited a month more :|

 

 

 

With Intel's Conroe coming out, every other processor is receiving major price cuts, especially the AMD ones.

A big picture.

 

 

 

Intel comes out with new stuff almost every 6 months, if you look at it like that then there is really no good time to buy a new computer. Plus, the one I got was on sale and came with a bunch of stuff. So it's all good. :P

Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

Less than a month is not a long time. And Intel does not make an AMD-killer every 6 months. Your choice I guess.

Man, everything has come in except the processor, and it's on back order.

 

Now I have to wait even longer... :(

In my opinion you should have gotten a single-core processor and a 7800gtx for better performance and longevity. I have a Pentium D 805 O/Ced to 3.4Ghz and my Athlon 64 3500+ is still faster day-to-day, probably because of the FSB but that's beside the point. The point is that dual-core processors are not yet useful for many applications and it isn't necessarily wise to invest in them for gaming, since a video card has more effect on game performance than the processor does.

Ahh well I don't know that much about it.

 

But the person who was doing it for me, along with other people thought that this was the best thing to do. Thanks though, but it's a little too late now. :|

Okay, if anyone ever thinks to buy an AeroCool case, don't! It's horrible. Besides the fact that it looks really cool, it is just awful. The cords that are packed in the inside of it are completely unorganized, it doesn't fit both ATX and Micro ATX like it says it does, and the front of it is cheap plastic. I'm lucky the thing didn't break on the way to my house.

 

 

 

But other than that, I'm happy so far. Oh, and I decided to get a different moniter. It's a 19inch Widescreen LCD that we found at CompUSA on sale, it's awesome. :P
