Happy Birthday Star!

Hello friends, I am happy to announce the arrival of my new keyboard and mouse. Best wishes to you and yours

I try to stay pretty numb when I play.

Welcome to the Extreme Idiots, you're going to love us!

Welcome to the land if Idiots!

Welcome to >XI< Suicidebetty, I'm sure you will enjoy it here!

Thanks Tweetle for the news about the GPU power. I had the one built in VGA power lead plugged in. Now I have that hanging loose and two VGA cords supplied with the PS. That looks much better,....and sure it will work better to!

Thanks everyone for your input! Budman, I have a liquid cooling system for it, but the radiator is too long and doesn't fit into the top correctly. So that stupid heatsink that came with the processor will be gone soon enough as I plan to find one that does fit.

Hello friends, I got all the hardware assembled and it runs whisper quiet! Now on to installing the MB drivers, Windows 7, GPU drivers and a bunch of other stuff.

Thanks Fireurza, the SSD was a steal on Amazon Prime with free 2 day shipping! I can easily afford the un-needed gigs.

Thanks Tweet, I have never overclocked. It's all good!

By the way Sparty, love the banner buddy!

Hello friends, for those who helped me regarding my "new rig". This Sunday I shall spend putting all the components together and installing Windows 7 and various other programs. I got a 500 gig SSD and also a 1T HDD and wonder where to put OS and games. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Peace, love and joy

Your welcome Joe! Like the new banner homes!

Welcome, I'm sure you'll find it easy mingle within the >XI< servers. I play mostly COD2 and COD4 and it's all good!

Sorry to learn your troubles Rock, I'm sure you'll find something. It's all about the time and cost I suppose. Best of luck buddy!

I put together another list of goodies on Amazon. This build is more expensive but I included an SSD and liquid cooling. Not sure if everything is compatible but it looks good on paper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/cart/view.html/ref=gno_cart Nevermind the army boots and popcorn bowl!

Thought so Tigris, thanks again!

Thanks everyone for your input. I will see what I can find to build one myself. I have a copy of Windows 7, is this the OS that is most gamer friendly?
