A little late with the intro

JayA55 · March 20th, 2008

I waited a bit to officially introduce myself, but figured now would be the best time since my build is just about officially complete, I can finally see the finish line after about a month of buying various parts.

Anyway, my sig is pretty inaccurate now. I'm actually returning the 780i mobo for a refund along with the Kingston memory, thankfully I didn't open any of it. Replacing it will be the EVGA 790i Ultra and 2 GBs/Patriot DDR3 1600 (I believe one of the admins recommended this kit - so I went with that).

I'm sticking with the Q6600, and cooling that I have the Zerotherm 120mm HS/Fan (again thx to the admin for the recommendation on that). I also have a PCI slot fan.

The MSI has also been scratched, I was able to void that before it shipped. I think the better bang for my buck will be with the EVGA 8800 GTS (step-up plan), I haven't ruled out BFG either though.

As far as the case I decided to just go with value over looks and style. The case came free with the 750w PSU I have, so can't beat that when it comes to value Newegg.com - Rosewill R6A34-BK 0.8mm SECC 120mm Fan ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

So, hopefully I'll have everything ordered and shipped by Tues (videocard and 790i) :cheers:

If there's any RTS or sim racing fans on here, then I'll definitely be seeing you guys online soon!
I'm a big fan of SupCom:FA, CoH, GTR2, and rFactor

Great site, I've already learned a lot from the little time I've been here.
