EDIT/UPDATE: Parts to my computer have arrived! Pictures included!

EDIT/UPDATE:

I finished building it about 2 hours ago. Since then, I've downloaded Win-7, checked the BIOS, installed the latest drivers from ATI, installed and played a bit of Crysis.

Intel Core i7-920 (2.66 GHz, Quad Core)

ATI RADEON HD 5870

OCZ 6GB (2x3GB)

Samsung 500GB HDD

LG DVD Drive

Asus P6T SE Motherboard

Cooler Master HAF 932-AMD Edition

Corsair 750TX-PSU

Needless to say, I'm really happy right now! Crysis looks amazing! I've tried it out at max settings with 8X AA and it ran smoothly. However, I must admit that I've only tried it for about 5 minutes, way before the game becomes heavy so to speak.

The reason is becuase I'm afraid to play it for too long because I'm worried that my video card will overheat. So, I'd like to know how I can check system temperature. Is there some program I'll need to download, or will I actually need to buy a new piece of hardware?

Gee uh... I don't know. I guess the sooner the better.
If you do it now, then you wouldn't have to wait.

Have I seen you before?

Did you log into your account? They clearly state "Please allow 3 to 4 business days from the time we receive your return".

Which in your case would be 3 to 4 business days from when you canceled.

I don't want to wait that long. If I were to call them, would there be any chance they could hasten the process so I can reorder?

I doubt it. They would likely be slightly annoyed that you're asking for priority over other customers.

I'd just wait the above-mentioned 3-4 days. Seriously, waiting for a couple more days isn't going to kill you.

So, if I were to call them and ask them, personally, to hasten the process so I can reorder, they wouldn't? I mean, if I look at my checking account online, it says that the charge is still pending, which means that it was never completed. Doesn't that change anything?

It's the weekend. I'd take my hat off to anyone who'd be willing to work on the weekend just to cancel your order...

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] Dude if you are going to be a PC gamer you will have to learn to be patient. 3-4 business days is not that long.

Since the weekend does not count as business days, does that mean that I'll have to wait until Wedsday or even Friday? Oh man, I hope not.

Have patience and contemplation. Once a merchant issues a refund, it takes 2-3+ business days for YOUR bank to post it into your account.

I wonder how many more threads until this guy get his rig up and running...

[QUOTE="BluRayHiDef"]

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] Dude it is a few days just wait, they have other customers besides yourself. Just chill out.millerlight89

Yes, it is. Because after that, I'll have to wait an additional 1-2 days for the processing of my reorder, and then the additional days for it to arrive after shipment. Considering that the weekend does not count as business days, that could be after this week. That's too damn long! Especially considering that I wanted to play Crysis this week! On the bright side, perhaps the HD 5970 will come back into stock by then and I will not have to settle with the 5870.

You bought the 5970 solely for Crysis? Ohh boy. You're going to get tired of that game quickly, trust me. Past all the eye candy is just a standard FPS with little substance.

ONE: I did not order the 5970; I ordered the 5870. The 5970 is out of stock.TWO: Crysis is not the only reason I want to play games on PC.

Its not up to NewEgg, its the banks. Even if they wanted to they can not rush the refund though the banking system. You just need to chill.

I turned 21 on January 1st. I know I should wait, but I have little to no patience. I always have to wait longer than usual for things. It drives me nuts. Well, I guess I'll just wait then.

To be perfectly honest, people like you really upset me. You are not obligated to post in this thread or care about my situation. That is your decision. If you're so troubled by my threads, then go away. Its that simple. Geez.

Truly I dont care. Just have nothing better to do. This is public forum anyone can post. I hope you learned a lesson though. It is better to put work into finding your own answers then to have others do it because you dont want to. have a nice night.

I understand that you are upset, no one really likes to wait but we all learn to live with it. Just try not to get too hostile.

They're all compatible. The only practical difference between Home Premium and Professional that I can find is the Windows XP mode, where you can run older programs in a virtual Windows XP environment, and backing up to a home network server and such. As for the HDD's, the one you picked is also compatible, but UltimateGamer is recommending you go for a larger hard disk if the budget permits.

You do have an awesome graphics card, nice processor for i7, 6Gigs of DDR3 is more than enough for now, so I'll say it's a good gaming rig. Overclock that and you're all set. ^^

But wait, do you have a cooling liquid/fan for the processor?

8/10 -2 just because that case gives me a headache.millerlight89

I specifically asked not to take off points for the keyboard or the case.
