Update! - My GT is here!

3DMark05 = 7369

BF2 Frames = 60-80fps 1024x768 4xAA/8xAF; All settings maxed out


Hey guys, first off, I want to thank all of you for the tremendous amount help you have given me for the past year. Also, thanks to mechBgon, as your guide really helped too!

Anyways, I proceded with caution as I slowly began building. After about 6 hours of tedious work, I hooked up the monitor, and waited for the moment of glory - pressing the power switch. So I did, and boom! it POSTS! I was a happy camper...

Here's the specs -
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego
XP-90 with Panaflo L1A
2GB (2x1GB) OCZ EL Platinum CAS 2-3-2-5
eVGA 7800GT CO Edition (470MHz)
WD 74GB Raptor
LiteOn DVD/DCRW Combo
Antec TP II 2.0 550w sleeved with UV Blue Sleeving
Thermaltake Tsunami
Logisys UV Cathode

I guess it's not bad for a 13 year old.

Thanks everyone! I will post benchmarks as soon as I get my 7800GTX.

Thanks,

Must be nice to have that kinda money at 13! Good job on the build! Buy the way how much did you pay for the 2gb of ram?
 
I'm 15, I know how you feel, dude. 😎

I built my computer last summer (when I was going to 9th grade). I bought all the parts in one day, and it felt so good seeing that "Platinum" splash screen (post) when I booted for the first time. Well done! 🙂

EDIT: It was my first computer I built myself. 😀

EDIT2: Take a new pic of you looking happier (the last pic). 😛
 
Damn!

I has only even used a PC a few times at 13! 😛

Very nice d00d, & nice choice on the case 😉
I have the Soprano (very similar), & quite like it 🙂
