After 4 years, my old rig had finally given up and was dying a slow death and I decided that instead of paying inflated prices, I was going to build my computer myself. When I started researching and reading up 4 weeks ago, I was fairly intimidated by the whole process and overclocking was not something I thought I would ever be tempted to try.
Well, after a long and ardous researching period and asking tons of rookie questions in here, I have her up and running and she is GORGEOUS! Both extremely fast (esp. compared to the old one) and fantastic graphics. Could not be happier.
So, with that, I just wanted to say thanks to all that helped out with suggestions and tech help the last couple of weeks. Hell, me thinks OC'ing won't be that difficult now
Here is the whole rig:
Case: Thermaltake Tsunami
Mobo:EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego
Ram: OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) platinum

Total, including shipping: $1893.00 ($400 for the monitor including shiping)
Thanks everyone
