I got a new comp

[Marsden 1st MRB]

I finally managed to go and buy a custom built computer. Was sposed to be able to pick it up today but the wharehouse hasn't gotten my case yet so now i hasta wait till monday, it not a super rig er anything but it's an updateable one that will play all of my steam games with their settings maxed so i'm happy with it. Especially since the only other games i'm lible o get any time soon is either EVE or Black Prophecy.

This is a tottally random post i know but I felt like sharing. I will post up pics once i pick it up, along with the full specs cuz i'm not sure the exact model on the motherboard or cpu;

what i do know is that the cpu is an i5, the motherboards by ASUS with 8 gbs of ram by either patriot or leviathan, and an NVIDIA 550GTS by EVGA with a 500W power supply.

I love how you get a new computer when the server is on the other coast thus making you lag still lol

I'm planning to build a computer, I just got the monitors: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824236123 (two of them) A good start, I think.

That PSU is kinda scary low on power. Hopefully it won't be an issue.

And yeah Yama, those are a great start. I made a list on newegg of my update parts for when I get my bonus check in November. Here it is.

That is all going in my Cooler Master HAF-X case, and I already have a GTX 590, but I may try and sell it and get two GTX 580's after reading Dillon's post about video cards.

Haha, how often do you have to update your list? I want to make a list but hardware gets better and cheaper so quick...

I have made ummm... 3 different posts about new computer builds, and have yet to follow through on them.

I made that list on the 7th, and so far it hasn't changed. By November when I get my bonus check it may be different as prices on SSD drives drop closer to the holidays I might opt for larger ones. I have between now and then to decide if I want to go for swapping video cards too.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

well i hope it won't become an issue, all i have in this thing is the motherboard cpu and gpu along with the 8 gigs of ram.

and i'm on it now XD installing steam and my games while i'm at work.

Just get Verizon Fios if you can.. I have verizon DSL but Verizon has been pretty good to us, so they are a good internet provider.

[Elder]

True .. I'm stuck with Verizon DSL until my apartment complex gets a contract for Verizon FIOS it sucks .. but I refuse to go to the evil of Comcast ...

Odd news,

HP is involved with Comcast now .. hopefully we can unfuck them.

I hate HP with a passion, TBH.

[Marsden 1st MRB]
