Newbie Saying Thanks!

So I discovered this forum a couple of months ago and started parting together my dream budget computer. I started this entire build only knowing what I had to spend, and nothing about computers. When I finally got done my final build was a complete 180 from my original build. The decision to buy the parts I bought came from reading through the multitude of information on this site, and the helpful feedback from its members, both in purchasing and troubleshooting. I just wanted to say thanks, my first was what I expected, bought everything installed it all, fired it up nothing happened, then I hit the forums and discovered the fix, which I would soon find out was bad a stick of ram. Without this resource, I would have bought a dell, and would not feel the satisfaction of getting all this to work together. Thanks again for all the help I recieved throughout my first time build from everyone!


build:

A8n-e
512 Valueselect (2 x 512, one bad stick, getting RMA'd this week)

You're welcome

I guess the fact that I didn't ask anyone to help me for my first build 4 years ago must've been a miracle.
