After 4 years new PC parts have been ordered

[[AK]StitchJones]

The wife gave me the green light to upgrade my aging PC. It's been well over 4years since I did my last major upgrade. With some discounts and coupon codes I have ordered the following parts from Newegg.com

1 x CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

1 x Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920

2 x OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK

1 x ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

1 x Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

I am also going to meet up with Rocks either Friday or early next week to buy his Evga GTX 260 video card. (Thanks ROCKS!)

I should have the parts hopefully be mid-day on Friday. If all goes well I will be built configured and online by primetime Friday night. I had bought a 9600GT card a few months back that will get me up and going until I get the updated card from Rocks.

I replaced my rig this year and am still loving it.

That rectangular piece of plastic in front of the screen is called a keyboard. Some functions on it are analogous to those on an Xbox controller.

nice! So is that 6 Gb RAM?

[[AK]Abaddon]

LOL ... love that HD DVD logo. How's that working out, anyway?

[[AK]StitchJones]

I was never a supporter of the HD-DVD format. I stood behind Sony and the Blu-Ray technology from the start. Over the past few years the Xbox360 has released some amazing games, but I still have a strong pull towards the Playstation3.

Clay, it's actually 12gb of ram :-) I bought two sets of (3 x 2gb DDR3 1600) So that's 6 sticks of sweet sexy memory.

Rocks, it was great seeing you last night and thank you so much for the GTX 260 card. That card is so darn big I used it as an ironing board this morning :-)

UPS shows the parts are out for delivery, it won't be long now!
