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

[QUOTE="Pignas"]

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] I hope they shrink back down, if they get much bigger we will need a case just for the GPU.

Edit: Do you have that case, if so it isn't bad looking. It looks solid.

millerlight89

That's the case I bought for my new computer.

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="BluRayHiDef"]

Absolutely hideous. Its profile is repulsively ugly.

BluRayHiDef

I'll reiterate and add an additional point: It's hideous. My case looks infinitely better.

Yes, it is elegant...if you lack decorum and if the word "elegant" means the exact opposite of what it actually does.

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="Pignas"] You mean this?

They should send a voice recording of Simon Cowell saying "Absolutely dreadful" to anyone who buys the case you recommended.

Sorry. I confused you with the user who posted a link to theNZXT Tempest EVO Gaming Tower Case.

[QUOTE="BluRayHiDef"]

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] Yea I think it is a nice looking case. Kind of alien, but at the same time elegant.millerlight89

Good one you guys! Good one. :P

If I'd pick something more fashionable, then it would get too hot. Plus it looked smaller than my "mistake". So I was fortunete for that. Lol!
And BluRay, what is the oppisate of elegant? I forgot.

To be honest, at this point I'm making these crude remarks for fun; I think they're hilarious. Its all fun and games, that's all :)To each his own.

Question: Is the stock cooler that comes with the i7-920 good enough for me to overclock it to 3.2GHz? Also, will games that say you need Windows Vista or Xp play on Windows 7? Do games that say you need a processor that runs at a speed greater than the stock speed of the i7-920 (2.66GHz) run well on it at stock speed? For example, Dead Space requires a processor with a speed of 2.8GHz, yet the i7-920's stock speed is only 2.66.

[QUOTE="UltimateGamer95"] um and the posts I mean are where I said your case matches your ego and that the dead space 2.8 GHz CPU requirement is for single-cores and that you should look into getting a megahalem or cooler master v8 CPU cooler :)UltimateGamer95

[QUOTE="UltimateGamer95"]

[QUOTE="Pignas"] Hey I got Cooler Master V8 too. D:
How good is that cooler?

Pignas

[QUOTE="UltimateGamer95"] and what do you mean by that?

millerlight89

Well, it's my first time to be honest. I'm just wondering, can I post my specs and tell me what you guys think?

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="Pignas"] I'm sorry, I'm not good with words. I simply said how lucky I was to pick those out. After hearing how awesome they were from you guys, I feel like I'll have a cool rig. It's no wonder why they're expensive too. XDDD

Pignas

Well, it's my first time to be honest. I'm just wondering, can I post my specs and tell me what you guys think?

My upcomming specs:

NZXT Tempest EVO Gaming Tower Case

Intel® Core™ i7 920 Processor

CoolerMaster V8 CPU Cooling Fan System

12 GB [2 GB X6] DDR3-1333 Triple Memory Module - Corsair or Major Brand

ATI Radeon HD 5850 - 1GB [x1]

MSI X58 PRO-E -- Intel X58 CrossFire Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, Triple-Channel DDR3, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, Triple PCI-E MB (Or simply put, my motherboard)

1.5 TB HARD DRIVE

I don't know why, but I find that to be hilarious.

[QUOTE="Pignas"]

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] What is the brand of the PSU?

millerlight89

Honestly I don't know the brand name, I might've just stick with that default setting and thought she'll do fine. But now that you mention it, ouch. :( (And by the way, I ordered this on iBuypower.)

Is it too late to change the PSU?

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="Pignas"] It doesn't have a brand name.

Well since this is a new day, well guess what. My new computer just came in today. Woot! :D
Ok, so I did some check-ups and you know what? When I checked out the PSU, it's not 500 watt, it's 700! I don't know, maybe they thought it's not a good PSU and changed that into something better...

I have a new thread so I'll explain the rest there.

well arent your machineguning those forums

In answer to your new question TC, I've never used an Anti-static band when building mine. I played the case near a radiator, that way I could earth myself on the radiator and by not having to work across the room back to the case I dont build up much static.
