I just got that same motherboard.

Wow! Amazing!

sppunk · 01-08-2010, 10:01 PM

TWINKIES!

Anyway I've never built my own PC - this includes everything I'll need right? Like I remembered tonight I would need a case fan ... kinda important. I was told I need the thermal compound.

A buddy is going to piece it all together but I have to get the configuration correct.

sickbadthing · 01-08-2010, 10:14 PM

Does a power supply come with the case? You might need that.

sickbadthing · 01-08-2010, 10:15 PM

Just looked up the case... you're going to need one.

sppunk · 01-08-2010, 10:19 PM

Yeah, I have a power supply (I labeled it PSU for whatever reason)

OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Active PFC $69.99

Only 500gb disk space? Do you plan on using external drives for all your data?

sppunk · 01-08-2010, 10:35 PM

I have three 1T drives, so yeah.

duovamp · 01-08-2010, 11:41 PM

God I forgot how cheap it is these days to build a really powerful computer.

ohnoitsbonnie · 01-09-2010, 12:22 AM

You can't take it anywhere though

brendo_91 · 01-09-2010, 12:31 AM
