My Inner Geek Is Tingling…
So, I just bought a new Motherboard, Graphics Card, and Power Supply…and I feel like a geek because I’m all giddy about getting it in the mail lol…
heres a roundup what I got
- Motherboard: ZOTAC AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard $69.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
- Graphics Card: XFX GeForce 9400 GT 1GB 128-bit $59.99
- Power supply: COOLMAX 550W ATX12V Power Supply $29.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
click to see where and what exactly I bought….and to the some saying “thats a crappy PSU” or “eh, even the 9600 is alot better”….heres what your forgetting….not everyone has tons of money to blow on PC eq haha…this was a very buget based purchase…
- so yeah first off the motherboard, I got it because it’s a AMD (woo) compatible with Athlon 64 X2(dual core) Processors….also it has 6 SATA connections….cause yeah…i need at least 3…4 or more preferred…and it was pretty freakin cheap for a decent spec’s on a mobo….
- Next the Graphics Card….I know…I know…some say for $10-30 more I could have got the ATI HD3650 (512 not 1gb but still)…but…I didn’t need to spend $10-30 more…that and I just trust Nvidia over ATI anyday…and I know that’s odd considering a prefer AMD over Intel..since AMD makes ATI lol…but I do…get over it!
and It’ll work fine for what I need it…Photoshop, Flash, and Casual Gaming…might be able to run freakin Crysis but I don’t want to anyway lol…
- last is the Power Supply….yes I know it looks sucky and not super high wattage…but…I needed one with 3 or more SATA’s once again…cause yeah dell is gay and made everything the Harddrive and Dvd Drive need a SATA power connector instead of a standard MOLEX one…yeah…I know…freaking gay right? anyway…yeah this one has 4…so I can even add a 3rd Hard Drive Later on if needed
so woo…
and yeah…I found and purchased all of this spur of the moment at like 2am
lol total price after shipping for all was $212.86 (before $40 in rebates) after I send the rebate stuff it’ll be $172.86 total for all
anyway, Ill prob blog again tonight….cause yeah my day has had nothing fun or interesting today lol…but I had to say the above cause I’m Happy
