I'm getting a new computer

[Anski]

I hate this laptop.

I'm tired of having it on my lap and burning my legs off.

I'm leaving for Waco, Texas the weekend after next and I will be sending back to Amarillo a very large and high specification computer. My father builds computers and gets items at a very low price than retail, and decided he didn't need a computer that much, he doesn't get internet out in the boonies. This computer already has Crysis, Gears of War, Oblivion, Bioshock and The Orange Box installed on it, which can all run at max specs.

I'm excited  !_!

I'm driving down to Waco with my sister, who will be driving back up alone with the comp. I'll be in Waco for about 2 weeks longer than back on a plane back home. I'll set that monster up, and i'll systematically destroy the universe with it.  ;D

Don't get so excited. The motherboard you've chosen doesn't support the RAM you chose :> I'd suggest some bigger mobo, with two pci-e x16 slots for future sli/crossfire, since you'll be mostly playing game with it. Also buing a 65nm QX right now isn't the best thing to do. Penryns/Yorkfields are coller, faster and have bigger potential

oh lol.

I accidentally got the wrong link for the mobos, I forgot to change that. The real mobos does support DDR3

either way i'm leaving thursday and i'll be back monday with the computer. :B

Man that cpu is expensive, especially considering that its performance boost over other cpus isn't really worth the enormous sum of money. Either way, it's still a great system, so have fun with it.

This isn't really the correct forum to be posting brags about your machine.  If you have a question, need some advice or help troubleshooting it, by all means please post its specs, but don't post specs just to show off :/  Locking this thread.
