i can understand that rating, small screen, only a 512MB video card - onboard audio and a B grade CPU cooler as well - its the ram, CPU and PSU that make your system decent, but those other parts would hurt your score.

8.5/10 nice super Pi Score I wonder if Xeons are better with calculations :P I think so, I got like 13.4 secs super Pi q6600 3.6ghz. for more speed (stable), I would need over 1.5v.

its not related to the xeon, its just that this is 45nm with 6MB cache (whereas Q6600 is 2x4MB)

Besides it's great for the distance I sit from it, and 1680 x 1050 really isn't that bad. About the GPU: When I bought it there was no 1 GB 4870, and you had to take out a small loan to buy a 4870 X2 On the CPU cooler, I admit it's not anywhere near as good as a TRUE. But it is the best cooler that doesn't require being bolted through the MB. About the sound, I've got an old Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Gold PCI card laying around, would that make a difference? |

well thats the point - WHEN you bought it. its almost midrange now, not high end.
My PC isnt far off being pushed out of enthusiast and back into high end - its not i7, it doesnt have the latest graphics cards, its only DDR2, etc.

I know, I just didn't expect it to become obsolete so quick. I was getting 7.5 ratings when my system had a 5600+, radeon 2600, 500 watt PSU and a CRT monitor.

3.4Ghz PII: Good.
790GX: great Thermaltake: -0.1 hate the brand. 4GB ram 1.8v - good good. i like low voltage ram. Good viddie Acceptable HDD storage Meh on the screen (19"?) generic case generic sound good PSU good OS 8.3/10 thats a high rating, considering your screen and video card. You got some good stuff.

@Dieselcat18: for a first build, very solid.
9/10 Swap out that cooler for something that can get that Q9550 to 4ghz!
