Haha, It doesn't look good at all!

I clicked the wrong combo deal. That memory is incompatible with my MOBO.

yea gotta make sure its the right DDR, or you'll end up forgetting everything with no memory.

Wait, that mobo wasn't compatible with DDR3? LOL

Edit: Erm, what? The mobo supports DDR3 and the memory is DDR3... I don't see the problem. I know the mobo supports only 1333 and the memory is 1600, but that just means the memory will run at 1333. Not much of a problem. Or maybe I'm missing something that has to do with Intel stuff.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I was, at the time, ignorant.

It was a waste of money, anyway.

Picked something equally cheap/better, and bough a corsair PSU.

About equally expensive. Cheaper when I think about the rebates, which are RIDICULOUS. (Like 25 dollars from a 60 dollar product)

Now it's like...

Case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156251
CPU/GPU and motherboard(With free civ V)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.575897
PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005
Memory
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104140
HDD
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00461LT7C/

As for OS, my plan is to use my student status to get the upgrade software for windows 7. Then I'll boot ubuntu off that free flashdrive(Yes, I'm pretty sure it'll fit) And recover my old hard drive to back it up on the new one... And then... UPGRADE FROM XP!

SIMPLE!

nice. i'm not usually for plastic cases, but that makes me think of an f-117 stealth bomber jet.
PostPosted: Sun Jan 30, 2011 12:40 pm


It's plastic and steel. I'm pretty sure all the parts that matter are steel.

There's an error in one the chipset of my motherboard, and it's being recalled, but the replacements won't be ready until like early April.

It's an error which I could seemingly work around, but which I am really annoyed.

Sandy bridge processors are unaffected, but I can't use 4 of my SATA ports. Or rather if I do it could cause memory degradation. I guess I'll be hooking in my optical drive there.

I hope that I am not charged for any of these returns.
