    Nice! Haha, yeah. My budget was originally $500 and ended up doubling that. Oh well, it was totally worth it! I've been in love with my computer and now that I have a starting point it'll be easier to get a better build. I just wanted something reasonable to find out what type of computer I want/need.

    Very nice! I like that case but its a little too bulky for me. An update on my build, was having some BSODs and it took wiping my hard drive (which only filled with games so, no real loss except for a few saves), trying a few different OSes and a lot of time and help to find out that it was all just a faulty DIMM. :(
    So one stick out of my set of two 4GB was faulty and I've already past the PNR, so no exchange or refund for me. Luckily I get paid tomorrow so over the weekend I'll be picking up a new kit. Still have yet to decide whether I want to live with getting another kit of 2 x 4GB for around $60 and run on 12GB single channel or spend about $130 on a 4 x 4GB kit. I know the obvious choice the 4 x 4GB and it would be nice but I have to see if I can afford it after all my bills and what not.


    P.S.
    Will add some pictures of my build when I'm on a real computer.

    Yeah. I'm deciding whether or not to get one or two kits of 2 x 4GB 1600 Corsair Vengeance. I'm going to aim for two but will be happy with one if need be. Can always pick up another next pay day. :)
