Sup guys ;p I don't mean to be a bragger but this just has me SO excited.. it's almost like I just met the girl of my dreams but in a little less pathetic kind of way lol
So.. after 4 years of having my old PC.. and after 8 months of drooling over the idea of buying a major upgrade. I finally did it. Well I did it 6 weeks ago, after 2 weeks of doing hardcore research to find the best parts that would fit together to create a new monster, I finally ordered and 6 weeks later, thanks to backorder parts, my order arrived.

The only thing I didn't spend big bucks on is my video card because I just might go crazy later this year and buy a G70 or a R520. But I'll probably wait a bit longer because spending 1000$ on a video card is just too nuts for me right now.
Here's some more pics of my new rig

The Canon sd300 is most amazing too btw. It takes 2.3 pictures per second. It can take a picture in 1.5 seconds from the time you power it on! It's very small and has a huge screen for it's size. I'm extremely happy with it. It also takes amazing video at 30fps.
I shot a video of 12 simultaneous porn videos playing on my dual monitor setup but alas it's 45mb so I won't post it or it'll eat up my month's allowed bandwith in a matter of minutes.
Oh btw.. I just tried DOOM 3.. with eax 4.0 and the lights off.. and OOOOOOH MYYY GOOD I almost shat myself. I had NO idea the graphics would look this hawt!!! And damn.. I think I strained my back from all the spasms from jumping out of my seat in the first level ;p
oh and obviously I plan to overclock this sucker to make it run as fast as it can handle.. and I got all the cooling and quality parts in preparation for this. But first I need to learn about overclocking ;p If you happen to know some groovy sites that have good insights and tutorials. Links would be most appreciated
well.. that's it for my useless post ;p
