About Me
So let's start with a little info about myself.
I live in Quebec Canada, but don't worry I'm 85% English, I love to game, bike play tennis and get drunk, I goto University in Human Relations so I try to find ways to make people more effective in their own everyday lives. I am a video game tester but man it's not always fun, (you would be surprised how many horse/petz games are released every year.) I live on my own and things have been going well, I have been trying to be a better blogger and with you guys help/motivation/fail beatings I think that things will go very smooth.

I am trying to come up with a series, I need to work more at it.

My Upcoming Project

So after years of sitting in the bright starlight of console gaming, I decided to go back to the seedy dark side of PC gaming, my last "gaming" PC was good enough to run Counterstrike, Quake 3, and diablo 2, maybe warcraft 3 at best.

Since I failed miserably at the Not my turning point pc contest, I had to go and fix me up with a rig.

Now is the time that I ascend into the pc gaming gods good graces, I have just order a set up that should allow me to enjoy many of the great games that happen on PC allow me to at least entertain you fine folks with the specs that I will be getting:

Motherboard
XFX Nforce 790I Ultra LGA775 ATX DDR3 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA2 RAID Sound GBLAN 1394

Processor
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad Core Processor LGA775 Kentsfield 2.40GHZ 1066FSB 8MB Retail Box

Video Card
EVGA E-GEFORCE 9800GX2 KO Crysis 650MHZ 1GB 2.05GHZ GDDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDMI HDCP Video Card
(hells yea HDMI OUT, this bad boy is being hooked up to my tv)

The Rest
500GB Hardrive
2GB of RAM
Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard check it out, it's fucking sweet
37 inch LCD Panasonic
Sony 800 Watt 5.1 surround sound system

I would have gone with the Q9300 that just recently released, but the Q6600 (What I have) is still a powerhouse.

Also, which case did you buy? And did you order a third-party heatsink for the CPU or are you going to use the stock cooler?

Dude, that is one high-end video card! You must be rich :-)

You might want to up the RAM to 3GB for a bit of breathing room (no more than that unless you want to switch to 64-bit Vista for gaming). Good setup though, some solid hardware.

I usually go for separate sound card to take some of the load, to reduce CPU load, but I might be out of date on that (and this system is a beast anyway)

Sorry to inform you, but 64 bit XP pretty much sucks worse than Vista. As far as I can see it has less support than Vista x64 and is pretty much the bastard child of XP.

well I do know that vista was a hell of a lot more expensive, and if I know anything about windows they will be releasing a better version of vista within the next year or two so I'll live
