Help with building my own PC?

Not sure what you mean by that.

Actually there's a Black Vista 32 that's floating around but have not tired myself . I'm up to Black XP 27 Ultimate right now but that's kind of a hobby .


Best time to try an O/S is on a new install or system you just built . Why not Umbuntu 8 ? They fixed the wireless problem and why be a sheep and listen to forum posters when you can see for yourself ?


If new to filesharing check out H33T , most O/S are there for the taking . Best part is you don't need an invite its public .

Yeah I am in contact with the makers of the new Black and PotentialXp both are quality OS's and easy to get 5hit even piratebay has a good number of seeds ATM

I'm ordering all the stuff tonight, and I just realized that the case is on sale for $59.99; an $80 savings!

That leaves me with a question: would you guys recommend the Q9550 over the Q9400? It's only $50 more, so I'll still basically save $30 from the case being on sale. Thanks!

[clocker]

Without a doubt, get the 9550.

^ Thanks!

EDIT: New question, should I wait until Black Friday (2 more days) to order all the parts? Will Newegg have more deals, or will the prices today be comparable?

[clocker]

No way of knowing.
I'm waiting on my current build but I doubt it'll be worth it.

^ Ok, I'll just buy everything now. I have one last question too. Do I have to buy SATA and power cables for the DVD drive and hard drive?

[clocker]

Your motherboard will come with cables.
Typically, these will be freakishly long cables- suitable for attaching your peripherals on the other side of the room.
But they'll get you hooked up and then you can see what real cables you need.

I know it's off topic but there is a Vista Eternity X64 edition I just installed and it's great, check it out fo sho

All the parts I decided on buying came today. I went with everything Detale recommended, except for these:

Q9550 instead of Q9400.
1TB Seagate Barracuda instead of WD Caviar.
8GB of OCZ Reaper RAM instead of 4GB G.Skill.

Final price was $887.89 ($947.89 before rebates). Thanks alot for all the help everyone!
