vortecdave · 01-23-2009

Thermaltake Armor VA8003BWS ATX Full Tower
MSI K9A2 Platinum AMD 790FX
AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition
Toughpower 750W Power Supply
Dual HD3870 ATI Graphics Cards
250 HDD + 320 HDD
5 Gig Ram

This has been my baby in the works for about 5 months now, I don't think it's too bad. Is it? I plan to add and upgrade here soon....I hope
But so far here it is...

But, does it work?

vortecdave · 01-24-2009

better than I could've imagined......still monitoring temps but damn it does beat my old hp

Nice

but why do you need 5gb ram? most people struggle to get past using 3gb of ram at once. Tho you wont need to put more ram in it for awhile XD

Gandalf · 01-24-2009

More RAM is better RAM.

If the system doesn't need it, it won't use it.
If it needs it and doesn't have it, it uses disk space and slows down performance.

RAM is GOOD.
