New PC on the way! was created by Pacos Old Posts

Couldn't go very long with this old PC. It drives me nuts when I have to wait for it......I know, we're all impatient nowadays.

It will be nice when I need to work from home, for upcoming games like BF3 which should only be played on PC ;) , and it should last a few years.

Almost had it under $500, but went with a better mobo and more RAM.

Went with AMD...better bang for the buck...


AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE 3.4Ghz
Windows 7 Home Premium (I know...but Pro was like $40 more)
8GB Gskill Ripjaw 1333 RAM - 2 sticks...can put 2 more in later if I really need that much RAM
Antec 650W PSU
ASUS DVD Burner
ASUS Mobo


I have an old video card for now I can slap in and am going to wait for the SATA 6.0 drive as it would be nice to just wait and get a SSD when they are a bit cheaper.

Nothin' worse than waiting for your package to show up. It's like waiting for the pizza man to come. Once you order it, it seems unbearable to wait. lol

Yay more people with new PC's. Paco I have 8GB ram with a 90GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 300GB HHD, and a 1TB External and I don’t think I have enough to fill the smallest of my HDD's lol and the 8GB RAM is so much better than the 4GB I had.

Nice processor I went with the 955 but I have it OC'd at 4.125Ghz and its wicked fast.

We need pics when you get it build. I still remember the day the FedEx guy came he wanted to stay and help me build it since the case and monitor were in their original box and I had a huge box from Newegg with the rest of the stuff he sort of figured it out.

I have the ram and mobo up there. Good performance, but make sure you have all the latest audio drivers (i've had some issues)

I'll be getting a new laptop soon. But it won't be for gaming though. Strictly for designing, media and other productive things. Though I may put Minecraft on it.
