:mj :llama :partyballoons MY PARTS are HERE !!!!

after searching and looking and having a $400 Budget
I came in at 427.99 with tax and shipping.

I started by picking a processor
after going thru the a bunch I picked
ADM Phenom II 945 quad core 3.0 Hz

After searching for MOBO I pick the :
Biostar TA790GXE because of the on board overclocking software
and the on board bios auto upgrade software.

Picked Corsair MXS2 4GB PC6400 DDR2 Memory

Had only one option for a Vid Card
Sapphire Radeon HD5750

of course need a big power supply to feed it all
LSP650 650 watt

needed something to put the game on (AvP3)
Seagate 160GB SATA ll HDD

and can't forget a tube of Thermo-Gel :biggrin

So here what everything looks like before I get started...
not going to sleep till it's done...
Hope I don't screw this up... :conf


PIC 1

PIC2

PIC3

it's running :mj had a problem ..NO sound XP would not find the new on board sound chip... so being Sunday we played AvP without sound...let me tell you the new Vid Card ROCKS :cool1
So when I got home from work call Biostar support and they had me check a few things....then at the end of all this cjecking he asked what service pack I was running.... I told him SP2..

and he said SP2 did not support the new drivers and that i have to load SP3..:dumb

now I have stayed away from SP3 because of all the bad press..but since this was a new clean install and IF i wanted sound I would have to go for it and since this was a clean install i felt there was a good chance all would go well..

After download and reboot we hear the wonderful sound of the Windows start up tune ...all is fine and running sweet. :clap
