How's that case anyway? I was looking into getting a new one since mine is big as stuff.

Computer Case: Good
Motherboard: ASUS, Good
Graphics: Good, should've gotten an ATi Radeon 5xxx if you could've though.
CPU: Okay, should've gone Intel, since Intel generally performs faster (my C2D 2.8 GHz could and has outperformed a Phenom II X4)
RAM: Okay, should've gotten faster RAM if you could've.
HDD: Good.
OS: Good

Overall, very good.

RAM: Okay, should've gotten faster RAM if you could've.

Overall, very good.

Graphics: Needed to keep price down.
CPU: General rule when buying a computer now is: Get Intel if you are going for an i7. Better go with AMD if you can't afford an i7, since the Core 2 Duo and Quads from Intel use the 775 socket, which is dead, since they moved to i7. So again budget and upgradable.
RAM: Meant to put 1333, which is highest for Mobo, but Mobo can support 1600 overclocked.

An extra $300 would have been nice, then could have gotten an i7 and 5xxx series, buy for now that is what it is.

Thanks for the reply!

You just need a 1TB Hard drive. :D

I barely ran out of space on my 160gb Hard drive.

You just need a 1.5TB Hard drive. :D

How are you supposed to fill 1.5 TB, or even 1 TB. I have 160 GB and that seems like enough. I don't have that many games, but still, 1000 GB?

I got a macbook apple laptop :P

Is it better than mine performance wise?

GhostOfBetaTapes · December 27, 2009, 05:15:51 PM

Great looking tower you got there... The rest of the computer, however, is a bit... let's say... underwhelming. I don't mean to say it's not good, but I always stick with intel.

Bahaha, I have 220 GB total and I am almost overflowing with stuff. Every day I have to scour my hard drive to find things I don't need.
