Hey_Big_Boy

that gfx card is good enough for now, so dont worry, and if u got an e4600, why not have gotten a pentium E2200? and id recommend a bigger hdd an faster ram, but dont worry for now, in a year or so, u might have to upgrade ur gfx card, but for now, happy gaming :)

GTX 280 is the new nvidia card coming out in 2 weeks. It's supposed to be ~50% more powerful than the 9800GX2.

So I moved my desk around a bit the other day. I like it this way :D

The inside:

Also, I ordered an alienware M15x the other day. Can't wait to get that!

pinkyfull

why did u get an alienware from my experiance they are REALLY over-priced you should've just made your own or upgraded what you had

Because you can't really build a laptop. Plus, it's not really overpriced for what I'm getting.

I WANT!!! :cry:

• 8800GT with AC accelero S1/turbo module @ 720/1775/2000
• E8400 @ 3 ghz
• 2x1GB CAS4, 800mhz DDR2 OCZ RAM

• 500w Arctic power CPU
• No brand DVD/RW
• Crazy asian brand multi card reader
• 160GB seagate barracuda
• Crappy £18 case with 1x80mm intake, 1x120mm intake and 1x80mm exhaust. All with dust protectors.
• SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Game

• Samsung syncmaster 2043NW 20" 1680x1050 monitor.
• Logitech X-240 speakers.
• Craptastic roller ball mouse because I'm pro :)

I'll get some pics up once I get my CPU cooler in about a week and get my CPU up to 4ghz hopefully. Anyone got any experience with the Scythe andy samurai master? I've heard it's very quiet and has some good cooling performance. My case is small so I can't have a huge cooler bigger than about 150mm and I want a cooler that's at least quiet as stock.

I know my speakers suck but I'm not an audiofile, eventualy I'll upgrade them to Z2300 ish, as soon as I have some spare cash. I should get a gaming mouse, but I can't find myself warrenting the prices of them.

She needs a new hdd and another psu, but other than that, it works.
