I used to be all into computer gaming... then I got into console gaming and my computer slowly faded out and parts became obsolete (aka my GeForce 4 TI 4200 that cant handle diddly).
So... I finally decided to buy a new computer, well I guess breaking my laptop LCD helped that, since I'm going back to school and my wife is already in school so we need 2 desktops since we work the same shifts and both need to study and I hate doing that on a laptop.
The other reason, obviously, is I wanna play some of the newer games. BF2 is my big one... plus I have some cool beta's I haven't tried due to system, or lack there of, issues.
Here's what I built. It should be here Wednesday.
- AMD XP64 3000+ (overcloking to 4000+ or near)
- DFI Lanparty UT nf4
- 256mb GeForce 6800GT (Leadtek, so will be slightly OC'd as well)
- 1gig PC3200 OCZ memory (2gigs next month when i start video editing again)
- 160gb Hitachi SATAII drive w/ 120gig and 60gig WD ATA storage drives (already owned those 2)
- Antec SonataII case w/ 450w Smartpower 2.0 PSU.
- Generic Logitech keyboard (i just hate my current one)
- Arctic Cooling Freezer64 Heatsink/Fan (for the overclocking) w/ some Arctic Silver 5 paste
- Plus some of my already existing stuff (Audigy 2, NEC 2500a DVDRW, Logitech Optical Mouse, etc).
My current computer (2400+, 1gig pc2100, 60gig Maxtor, 128mb GeForce 4 ti 4200, etc) will be going to the wife so she can have it just for her use/work.
Cant wait cant wait!
