Dad finally got tired of me using his computer, so I want to build one for gaming.
I think this is a powerful, expandable layout, so I can upgrade to Penryns, crossfire, or more RAM when I have the money. I am in fact OC'ing.
This is a 100% new build.
CPU: Intel C2D 4500 2.2GHz to 2.93GHz running @ 2:3 w/ RAM
