Did you or are you going to build your computer?

Yes, I built my current computer and I’m looking forward to my next build

My first build ever was really something quite special haha It consisted of an AMD Duron 750Mhz processor on a really crappy old Socket A motherboard. Every part that i put into it were all old used parts I acquired from my high school electronics class when i was still attending 5 or so years ago. I knew nothing of what went where and what anything did. But after a couple months I finally got it all to work! It was quite an experience, and I'm very proud of that.

Ever since then I've been building rigs for myself and friends and family. It's amazing how much money one can save when building your own rig. I've come to find that Dell is junk, as is most of the consumer systems you'll find at your local store. Building your own is the only way to go!

My current system is in my signature. I built it back in July 2008 when most of it was new and pretty much top of the line parts. Not so much anymore, but it still plays IL-2 1946 like butter. Can't wait to see how CoD runs on it. Probably won't be all that great, but it will give me a really good basis for what I need to buy for my next rig. I will probably go with something as follows:

-Intel 2500k
-ASROCK Extreme4 P67
-MSI Gtx 570
-4Gb DDR3 1600Mhz (already have this)
-Corsair 750w PSU
-2 x 500Gb WD 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s (in raid 0)
-Win7 Ultimate x64
