New Computer

[juan_donde]

So, I am getting a new computer. Hopefully it will arrive soon. Funny story though: So, I order the computer and being the modest person that I am I decide to brag about it to the first person I see online. That person being Lucas. I'm telling him something along the lines of, "Ooooh i got an i7 and i also decided to get the 285 gtx. Blah blah blah etc." He says, " I bet you fucked up somewhere. I mean I am sure you didn't, but I bet you did." Let's see if you can figure out what I did wrong?

Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor

BFG Tech BFGEGTX2852048OCE GeForce GTX 285 2GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

I'm assuming its not the missing hard drives, disk drives, case?

[juan_donde]

No, those are just 5 of the pieces that I ordered. Out of all 5 pieces only one of them shouldn't belong.

SOCKET FAIL.

[juan_donde]

Indeed. Good news is that it came in today. Almost finished setting it up. Just waiting for the vid card.

[bundan329]

I take it you fixed the problem already.

[juan_donde]

Yup, works great. Can't wait to get Modern Warfare 2 for it.

Watch, your computer will spontaneously combust. Speaking of things catching on fire, you're using Windows 7 instead of Vista right?

[juan_donde]

Yeah, about that...No I haven't gotten 7 yet. I am using the Windows Vista from my laptop since it is the 64 bit home premium which quite frankly works fine for now, but I will definitely be hopping on the Windows 7 train pretty soon.

As for it spontaneously combusting, there certainly is the possibility that for some odd reason I got the wrong power supply and my computer explodes, unlikely but still if it does there will be pics. On a side note Crysis supports the most retarded resolutions I have ever seen. I mean what kind of fucking game supports 1440x480 but not 1920x1080.

Update on my computer!

Shopping for a new sound card! Probably going to get this pci-e xfi. Which means that a certain x-fi elite pro is now up for grabs...
