roadske Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) Before I quickly introduce myself, I just wanted to thank everyone on this forum for their wealth of information you've shared with anyone interested. I've read multiple sites to learn everything I needed to know to build a new gaming rig that I could OC and enjoy, and after all the sites I looked at, I decided this would be the place to register. Enough of that. I am currently waiting for my hardware to arrive in by Fedex tomorrow from Newegg. Last time I built a PC was years ago...the newest thing then was the Radeon 9800XT which is what I'm still using. My tax return allowed me to finally build a new rig, and after weeks of grueling research and little sleep (Ok, so I got a bit carried away) my rig turned out like this... Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3ghz 6mb Cache Gigabyte GA-P35-S3G P35 Motherboard Freezer 7 Pro Heatsink OCZ Platinum 4GB(4 x 1GB) DDR2 800 XFX Geforce 8800GT 670 MHZ 512 MB XXX Alpha Dog Edition CORSAIR 550W 550W Power Supply WD 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive NZXT Alpha Black ATX Mid Tower w/ 2 extra 120mm Fans SAMSUNG 20X DVD Edited February 6, 2008 by roadske Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Apart from the Vista 64-bit, that is probably the BEST build that anyone in a LONG time has posted here on OCC as already bought, as in, not seeking advice! Very good job, especially on getting a decent PSU! :thumbs-up: On a side note, welcome to OCC, and be sure to check out our folding @ home team, the link to which is in my sig!

roadske Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Thank you for the nice comments. PC is at home, all setup and kicking butt! I'm going to link to another post though, as this issue does not belong here. I'm having issues OC'ing the board, if you can please take a look at >> http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.php?showtopic=77889 Any help would be much appreciated!
