New computer

[Songi]

I just ordered all the parts and hopefully I'll have an assembled ready to raid machine by next Tuesday. I'd like to apologize for any mistakes and failed attempts that may of happened because I couldn't react to it properly. Nothing is more frustrating than knowing you need to move somewhere and not be able to do it because your down to 1-10 fps. BQL ffs.

Anyways hopefully I'll be ready to roll in two weeks. Till then, suffer!

List the components you bought if you don't mind? Be curious to see what you went with.

I recently updated my old ass graphics card and PSU to a 850watt Corsair PSU and a Sapphite 5870 graphics card. It was the first time i had ever went with "the best" graphics card. I can honestly say that it was well worth the investment as I should be pretty well set in that department for at least 3-4 years depending on the how quickly that community grows.

I was going to get a new CPU as it was my weakest component as well, but I just decided to overclock my Core2Duo to 3.0GHz and now it's pretty damn good..

My tower, Power supply and GFX arrived today. Everything else should be in transit and here by tomorrow. It will be a race to get it up and running before the raid!

Also I'll post pictures of my process building it.

Power supply is in and the case is really nice for a mid atx. The video card is huge but I think they all are now and days. Anxiously waiting for tomorrow.

There is plenty room for upgrades in the future. Should be a easy sell too if I want to offload it and upgrade in the next 6 months.

This thing is blazing fast and really quite! Max setting everything all the way up including multisampling no frame loss in the heart of Dalaran or Wintergrasp.
