My New computer

Sunday 30th January 2011

I've finally finished building my new computer, took me two days because I'm lazy, plus I had a little trouble getting it to start; it took me an hour to work out that I'd configured the output through the graphics card, and I couldn't find the stupid DVI adapter, so I ended up borrowing my dads monitor, he wasn't two happy about it.

Anyway Heres the specs,

Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T (2.80 GHz) (6 Cores) :)
Ram: 4 GB DDR3
Hard drive: 1TB SATA II (for the moment)
Graphics card: NVIDIA Gforce GTS 450 (1GB graphics Memory) (clocked at 830 MHz),

Gigabyte Gforce GTS 450 Box

Operating System: (I ended up buying) Windows 7 Professional,
Optical storage: 2 DVD burners, (one SATA II, the other IDE) floppy disk drive (serial with an IDE adapter, makes it slow).
Windows Experience index, base score 2.9, (everything else on my computer scores a minimal 7.5, but because my disk transfer rate for my floppy disk drive is so low, my overall computers score is 2.9, makes perfect sense doesn't it?)

Cooler Master Chassis Gladiator 600

And the case is a Cooler master Chassis Gladiator 600.

All this for just $865, $1015 if you include the windows operating system which was $150, and is actually not a bad price considering that some places are selling it for about $400.

All in all, it was a good buy.
