Advice needed: My first build - Page 2

Chillbacca · October 9th, 2008

Well I was going to be patient and wait for prices to come down but then I just went ahead and ordered everything. Apparently I am not very patient.

Haha, I totally know how that goes. Be sure to post pics!

You almost have to buy the best you can afford today and not worry about what may (or may not) be released next week or next month. To do so would mean never getting your PC built! Hope all goes well.

Normally I would agree with you, but on the eve of a major change like the Nehalem I disagree.

I see what you are saying but what I am using now is so frustrating to deal with I couldn't wait any longer. I may regret it in a few months but right now I am just excited to get a new system up and running.

I know that feeling... very well. You have a pretty kickass system specced out, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Alright everything has finally arrived and I am going to get started on it tonight when I get out of work. I am a bit intimidated but we'll see how it goes.

Oh and another thing I was looking to get a wireless adapter for it but when I started looking I've seen alot of negative comments about them not working with vista 64 bit. Any suggestions or devices that you know work or have heard will work?

Good luck! I'm sure everything will go well, just take your time. If you run into a snag, be sure to log into HL and get expert guidance.

Be sure to post pictures!

You might want to take a look through this guide before you dive into your project just to make sure you've got the right idea about things. Good luck, I think you'll find it's easier than you think!

I read through that the other night just to get an idea and I will have the site open during the build. I am ready to dive in.
