Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you'd numbered them! Ignore me, I'm unobservant sometimes, haha.

Thanks again!

Oops, I meant "Hard Drive" lol.

Yeah, I made sure to update at least my Video Card Drivers - I'll look into my CPU though. I already know I'm probably going to get a Windows 7 64-Bit for Christmas to put on the 1 TB Hard Drive I have.

What did you mean that only one Hard isn't helping? Does having two in boost performance?

Thanks!

I just got all the parts and finished my first build a few days ago. It's pretty sweet, and I'll throw in the specs here in a sec, but I have no available camera to add pics with. However there's a few odd things I've noticed over the past few days - Games seem to run... Not as smoothly as they should. I played New Vegas for a few hours last night, and no matter how low I put the graphical settings at, it never seemed to get much higher than 30-35 FPS, according to FRAPS. Call of Duty 4 is a little weird - sometimes it'll drop down to 15 FPS and the next second it'll hit a-hundred-and-some. Call of Duty 2 stayed around 50-70 FPS on Maxed Out settings, since it is a bit older, on a barren MP map. Not sure how well it would have fared with a few players tossed in. StarCraft II also seems to be sluggish, with the most frames that I got being about 40 on Low settings. Here are the Specs -

Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 460 768 MB*

CPU - AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2 GHz Tri-Core

RAM - 4GB (2GB x 2) DDR3 Patriot Sector 5**

Mobo - MSI 870-G45 ATX

PSU - XION PowerReal 800W

HDD - 250 GB Toshiba [FROM MY LAPTOP]***

OS - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit**

* - Yes, I realize this is the 768 MB version of the card and will not be quite as powerful

** - I know that 32-Bit OS`s may not actually use all 4GB`s

*** - I don't have an OS ready to put on my 7200 RPM 1TB WD HDD, so I'm using the 5400 RPM HDD from my laptop for now, which has Vista on it.

Any of the aforementioned things may be the problem - I'm not sure, we'll see once I can get a decent OS (It WILL be 64-Bit, trust me.)

Anyhow, I just wanted someone else's opinions on this.

Thanks in advance!
