Heya,

Since my laptop has been awesome for the past 2-3 years I realise it's time for me to build me a stationary pc, Bad Company 2 triggered that actually, thats the only game I've been struggling on with my dear 8600mGT card <3

Anyway, I put together a list here what you think? I've been resarching several sites, and asked people. So I might aswell ask here! The graphic card though will be swapped out since they dont have it in stock. So Im buying XFX Radeon "xxx" 5870 instead.

Yeah, just make sure you plug in your ram, and all the wires next to the cpu cooler first.


Where are the other computer elites? Gama, womble, Harv, goldfish, Demon? :(

Nice rig, and that is one hell of a cpu cooler.
Make sure your case can actually get the heat out quick enough!
