Hello there, new to computers, new to this site, new to everything really, but here is the first computer I have bought and built (all my others were hand me downs, this is the first computer i have owned that is faster than 1.6GHz
Anyway, here are the specs:
AMD Phenom 955
Gigabyte 990xa-UD3
Corsair Vengeance Blue 4GB Ram
MSI 6870 Twin Frozr II
Thermaltake TR2 700W
500GB Seagate Barracuda
LG DVD+/- RW
Bitfenix Shinobi Case
LG M2280D (Monitor/Tv)
Just before anyone starts on at me saying ZOMG WHY DIDNT YOU WAIT FOR BULLDOZER, I thought it all through
Got an AM3+ motherboard so that when the time comes I can upgrade to BD quickly, and I also got an overspecced PSU to cope if I want to crossfire my 6870 (I probably wont need to)
System is used for everything really, some gaming, some browsing, some light photo/video editing and homework
Cable management is crap compared to some of the lovely stuff I have seen on here but thats what I get for buying a non-modular power supply
may end up sleeving it but I dont know if I want to void my warranty
Without further ado, here are some pictures (sorry for the quality, I a) cant take photos to save my life and b) Its a phone camera.)
For some reason they are in the completely opposite order to which i took them. Hmm.
So, any comments/criticisms/tips/free stuff? Btw, first on my list of changes is to stealth the DVD drive. No idea how to do this though, help pleeeease?
Thanks for reading this unnecessarily long post
TlDr; here is my new computer and some pictures.
