First Post

Hey hey how's it going today?  I am having an awesome time waiting for my dang monitor to ship!  I ordered a 21" widescreen on Christmas day.  NCIX was having some sweet Web-Only Boxing Day sales and I honestly thought I would be that lucky guy that gets his monitor the next day, haha.  Ah well, this just gives me more prep time for the Blog, Youtube, Website, Underwear, and stock piling my Soda collection.  I am a Pepsi fan, sorry Coke lovers.  Oh, here I will show you guys the main pieces I ordered for my new rig.  Keep in mind that this is a budget PC and when I say budget, I mean I emptied my piggy bank for this sucker.

Samsung SH-S243D/BEBE 24X Black DVD Writer SATA OEM $15.99
Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 XMP Dual Channel Memory Kit

ASUS M4A88T-M AM3 880G DDR3 mATX 1PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 1PCI Video Audio LAN Motherboard
$94.30
AMD Athlon II X2 270 Dual Core Processor Socket AM3 3.4GHZ 2MB L2 Cache 65W Retail Box
$76.09
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB 3.5IN 16MB Cache SATA3 Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
$97.98
LG EW224T-PN 21.5IN Widescreen LED Backlit LCD Monitor 1920X1080 5M:1 5ms DVI VGA VES
$129.99

Again, nothing fancy but well exceeds the minimums for StarWars: The Old Republic.  One really good feature about this mother board is the video card.  It's an RADEON HD4250 1gig (on board) and performs pretty well.  The main selling point for me on this was the fact I can crossfire it with another video card.  I plan to buy a new one in the coming months.  Maybe an early birthday gift, mmmm!

Oh my god!  Never try to hold off going to the bathroom, it's just not healthy.
