Alright, I have decided to embark on my first build seeing that the Dell I have is 5 yrs old.
First thing I have done is search the web call friends find this awesome site.... Also I spend all the time I had when I wasn't asking questions here browsing for prices and trying to understand what it would take $$$- wise to build what I want.
What didn't help was this site and the members that post there rigs.... it gave me even more ideas and more to digest. But I digress.. lol,
So here I am ready purchase, learn and assemble my first rig...
The first thing I did was pick a rig that I thought would be big and bold. I really liked the HAFs'
The full size towers from HAF had a few choices the one I really liked was the AMD Limited Ed.
I have that one on order from Amazon and am getting it new for $145 shipped. It will arrive next week on May 10.
Now I went to Frys today here in Houston... threw down some plastic and started the buying cause you can't build what you haven't bought...
SO I farted around and ended up buying a Crosshair IV Republic of Gamers MOB, $229
I also purchased a AMD 1090T cause you have to run an AMD when you've got the Rig that yells AMD...$299
Also got a OEM copy of Microsoft 7 64bit... off of Amazon $150
Got a Barracuda 1tb 7200rpm 32mb cache HD from Frys for $70
At this time this is all I have bought. Now its time to look at high end graphics cards, I really want to go overkill and get something nice or get two really good ones in crossfire them... decisions decisions...
More to come later.. enjoy the pics and tell me what you think. and thanks again guys and gals this place is great!
