General Questions About My New-in-Progress Build Rig

[Stealth3R]

Hello,

My last build computer was about 4-5 years ago with a Lian-Li PC-70, Abit IC7-G, 2.4c m0, GeiL DDR433 with a complete h20 cooling kit.

I've been out out of the scene and definitely not up to date. I'm building a new rig mainly for my new HDTV setup so on and so forth. I've picked out a few parts after a few days of research. Please let me know what you would do to make it better or how I could improve it by buying better parts.

Everything is ordered and on their way to my house but NE has a nice return policy I could just send them back to swap out...so here we go....

I would take down those tracking #'s. Don't want any unsavory types lurking in front of your crib waiting for UPS.

For HDTV you should have gotten something like this

I just got the Sapphire version but it is OOS at the moment.

Why do people post asking for advice after ordering? 😕

If it's any consolation, you got gypped on the RAM; you can get RAM just as good for $30 less, or for $11 you could have gotten 4GB.

I doubt it was any consolation to hear he should have spent less for 2GB or paid a bit more for 4GB. He should have asked first.
