Yeah, after years of saying I was gonna do it, I'm finally doing it. Building myself a PC. I've been trying to read up as much as I can on stuff and have been browsing newegg speculating. Anyway, I figured this would be more productive if I got some input for you guys. Primarily this is gonna be a gaming PC, but I at the very least want this PC to be relevant for 5 years, and I'm gonna be using it for more then just gaming. School, musings, w/e. Possible I'll be leaving the PC on for long periods of time so maybe cooling will be a factor?
I like me some nVidia chips and I'm not planning on overclocking (yet) so intel is fine with me. Any ESD precautions I should take and such would also be appreciated. I'm planning on working with a 900 dollar budget for the rig itself. But it's flexable. So... show me ya moves! -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.

GDI, figures I'm finally ready to buy the card and CPU and the card is sold out. So I ended up going for the superclocked version of the card I wanted.

I've always used Norton, but I've noticed the latest ones I think Norton 360 to be very resource heavy. -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.

Scan with housecall one every 6 months for giggles. Firewall just windoze. Firefox with script blocker for life. |
