Thanks all for help but when i walked out to see if there was anything not connected a piece on the mobo started to smoke and burn so i looks like im out $100 :(

Thanks again.

That happened to my friend. He said that one of the mounting screws was causing a short somewhere and the mobo started smoking. I think it still worked when he remounted it.

[QUOTE="mattpunkgd"]Oh ya and sorry i forgot to add im getting the xigmatek or sumthing... the one on newegg for 36.99.mattpunkgd

Xigmatek HDT S1283? Nice choice, few degrees short of Thermaltake True (120 extreme), should get a nice OC with that

I'll be getting that cooler as well. Did you know that for Heat-pipe Direct Touch coolers you need to apply the thermal compound in a different way to ensure proper coverage?

But you really have no other computer on your house? By the sound of it: hot-wire+YOU=DANGER! My advice be careful, follow instructions carefully.

Edit/ careful

Edit2/ even more careful

It can be dangerous but it's a great way to find out if the PSU is the problem. Be safe. I hope you don't kill yourself!
