Default El Nuevo Crazy Vato from Tennessee

Hey, what's up fellow enthusiasts? Well, the names Nacho and I'm pretty stoked about my new system. I had a solid $700 budget to work with, but think I did pretty well.

A little bit more about myself. I'm a 24 year old Aries, love messing with cars, computers, graphic design, and girls. My parents were from Jalisco, Mexico. Dad passed away in 94', but Mom has been the best parent anyone could ask for. Being a single parent makes her 2x more crazy AWESOME!

But, enough about me. This is the "I'm So Broke and Living at Home" Budget PC:

AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE (3.2GHz, 1.3V)
ECS A790GXM-AD3
2x 1GB G.Skill Extreme HK DDR3 1333 MHz
Cooler Master CM 690 Mid Tower
Thermaltake Thoughpower W0106RU 700 Watt
2x XFX Radeon HD 4870 750M 1GB (8x/8x CrossFireX)

Yup, only 2GB. My system usually only uses maybe 40-50% of it during regular use. Here's a screenshot running PS CS4 64-Bit, WMP, installing Live Messenger, Firefox (8-10 tabs), Avira Antivir antivirus, Comodo firewall, ATi CCC, etc.
