my parts are here!!
« on: April 02, 2008, 04:20:39 PM »
everything here! finally!
its not the most powerful thing (only a geforce 8400) but its HELLS faster than my moms old system, which this is to replace...

the 22" monitor is baller too


EDIT: after diggin up the processor at the bottom of the box, its quit clear that OEM means NOTHING but the thing...so i still need a heatsink, should be on order soon, i shot an email towards the buyer

ehh AMD?? I would have gone Intel just for future upgrades but good choice nonetheless, anyways save up and buy a 9800!! and it will wreck any game (except crysis)

Oh yeah, are you gonna overclock at all?

processors are truly a thing of personal opinion and what your going to use it for.

as for the 9800, its fairly over rated a nice 8800 will beat the pants off of it but you have to be willing to spend the money.


oh i love your motherboard, its the same one im using and i love love it.

If someone gave me 1600 I would go with dual 9800's  Quad SLI > Dual SLI


Also, what was your total cost?

Where did you get your parts?  seems kind of expensive.  Also, which monitor did you get, I'm thinking about getting a 22inch acer from newegg thats on sale...
