Looks like you're going to be damn anxious for Monday to get here. Nothing better, as well as frustrating, that waiting for new toys:)

Interesting case you chose there.
 
Oh man, I had to wait a week to get my new PC simply because they didnt release an email to me asking if I would accept the Mobo with the SATA defect. Dont make the same mistake >.<

All looks great! Careful, there has been some posts mentioned previously about G.skill+Asus resulting in a no post situation. Possibly fud, never experienced issues myself with the above combination.

Trying to recall when AM3+ boards should be available to the consumer. Maybe should have waited?? Unsure of when, just speculation on my part.

Be sure to run prime95 on all 6 cores now and give us a little benchie. :D It'll test out your cooling too...

Must be wrong forum - AMD GPU and CPU. Not really commited to the noble art of folding are you ? Otherwise look fine for some gaming and such.
 
I was hoping for some GTX560 Ti's:D
 
Don't buy seagate barracuda's 1TB, because they have problems
I have had one and lost everything i had in it
At least choose another brand

Need more specifics; Which model of 1TB?>7200.10, 7200.11 or 7200.12? Why I ask: 7200.11's were known to have firmware problems.
 
I have had the 0.12
I dunno about the others

Oh, wow! My cousin had his 5 7200.12 1TB drives for a couple years now. No failures at all. So methinks you just got a bad one.
 
Why did you ask about models than??? :D
Anyway, another one had the same problem with the same hdd in this forum
Fortunately i replaced it with the one i have now
If it was me i would buy caviar black, as most people claim it is great
 
Was just curious, WD Blacks come at a premium tho. Worth it if you get the budget, but wouldnt base a rig around one, ie instead of better gpu going a little extra for a black.
 
I know the feeling when so much stuff is en route. You almost end up DDoSing the courier's website. That's a decent price for a SandForce SSD.
 
Did you get your stuff? How did it go?
