I'm getting my gaming PC tomorrow. And I'm so giddy about it. Like, I don't know why I'm feeling this way. The only other times I'm like this is on Christmas Eve (even though I stopped getting good stuff three years ago). Man. I don't know why I'm sharing this. But. Oh well.

Make sure you check the specs.

I found that Best Buy computers on Display have internet access, so I'd suggest going on "Can you RUN it" and testing the specs on two games: Crysis 2 and Shogun 2.

Good luck, and godspeed

After reviewing my final order, I realized I forgot to order a HDD. :l I had two different carts. One cart on the official site, and a cart I made threw the NewEgg app which doesn't link your accounts. So I forgot to add the HDD to my NE app, and that's why my total was so low. Now I have to go to Best Buy and buy a HDD. Great. :l

Good luck! I have no idea what those specs mean, but it sure looks impressive! ;)

Well. I'm posting from my new computer. :D It was real easy to assemble. Took me about four hours, but I was being careful. However, my CPU fan runs so ****ing loud it's actually annoying. However, I'll deal with it. Busy installing everything right now. Just wanna say thanks to Ru, Santoro, and Nexus for giving their input.

Why last?

On my Windows rating, I have a 7.5 or higher on everything except HDD, which is at 5.9

I've been playing some COD4. 15 v 15 is complete chaos.
