Or is this PC for the baby.  |
It's the crib silly. He can play his games while keeping his kid warm. |

Went and 'got a new PC'?
Like bought one at a store or what? What happened to the parts from the old?
I never understand how anyone just starts all over with a brand new one...all my builds have been kinda evolutions, theres at least a few parts left over from the last. Also why I guess I never got the whole 'OMFG 3000 Dollar computer required to play!'
Anyways looks good. Except 8gb of ddr2? Not sure why anyone needs 8gigs unless maybe its doing heavy rendering or something else apps wise. Games won't see much of an impact until the RAM gets faster, and then you will need to buy it all over again..

Kinda far stretched but the more memory = the better superfetch Assuming that person is using vista of course (im not) |

look at my sig. that comp has gone as far as it can possibly go. its time for a brand new one. and i built it on newegg. the parts are gonna come and i gotta slap em together. all im using from the old comp is the kb/mouse. and the 8gb is because its such a great price. 4gb for $89 |

Congrats on the new rig!. You will have some serious power under the belt with that baby!.
Please make a small review on that 780i board. I am gonna need to buy a new board ASAP as i can't get my new e8500 to run on my old 680i, even after the new P32 BIOS patch.
Cheers!
