My name’s David, But im known as CKYRules just about everywhere. Ive been modding for close too two years now, and have been a member of the Moddb Community much much longer. Im the leader of the Common Wealth Mod Studio, which is responsible for the mods, The Andromeda Experierment, The BSG Experience, which are both for Freelancer, and then theres our newest mod, Andromeda- Rebirth of the Common Wealth, for Homeworld 2. I’m a pretty experienced mapper and have relased 2 map packs for Star Wars Empire at War using the Stargate Empire at War Mod™, and im the lead mapper for Stargate Vengence, a mini series based on Stargate using Stargate Empire at War Mod™. I will beta test for pretty much any mod that I have the game too. Outside of modding, I love music(esp rock), play the guitar, hanging out with my friends, and in general having a kick ass time.

Well. After some intense talking and breaking of the wallet. My order for my new computer changed. Heres what my beast is going to be.
Globalcomputer.com - XNX nForce 750a SLI Extreme Motherboard. Am2 Socket
Globalcomputer.com - Apevia X-crusier ATX Black LED lit mid tower case
Globalcomputer.com - AMD Phenom X4 9750 Quad Core CPU
Globalcomputer.com - A pny GeForce 9500 GT 1 gigabyte SLI capable Video Card.
Globalcomputer.com - nVidia SLI ready Ram- 2x2GB
Globalcomputer.com - Segeate 1 TB HDD.
Quite a big diffrence then what i was going to get. And now, when my wallet stops hurting. I can buy another PNY GeForce 9500 and use the SLI Technology.

Woah! That's definitely a big change. I have to say that it's much better. Enjoy!
Wait a minute. That's an motherboard for an Intel, but you have an AMD CPU. Or else it won't work, different CPU sockets and all.
Intel quad cores are known fro having far better clocks speeds as well.
Im my opnion, i did some resarch, and Intel seems to have gone down(performance wise over the years. Or atleast thats me an my dads opnions. And as for the Mother Board. I posted the wrong link. I fixed the link. You scared me Scarecrow, i had to go back and double check my invoice and make sure i got the right one.
Sorry man. Just glad that it's sorted out now.
AMD is fighting back. Intel better watch it's six.
No Problem. Cant wait to it gets here. My old comp is really getting on my nerves. The CPU fan died about 2 weeks ago and since i have have an upstairs room and the centeral air. It gets hot up their mid day, even with my Window unit. And the fact that is 90 something here already. I cant wait for it. No more over heating. Or any other problems( knock on wood)
Hmm. Just a another little recommendation: consider getting a couple of additional fans for your case. Graphics cards can get really hot, especially if you are going to SLi them.
When under full load, mine hit 85°C (185°F) on a 36°C (97°F) day.
For now im only gonna have one Graphics card. When my wallet stops hurting, im going to buy another one. Along with a UV Cold Cathode set that comes with two strips of Neon and two fans. Ill also be buying some other stuff. But its not really all that important.( Just some speakers and a wireless Keyboard and mouse set)
Nice.
Yea. The UV Cold Cathodes look badass. And the Woofer that comes with the speaker set is bad ass too.
Which speakers do you have/are you getting?
Right now i have an old set of Creative speakers. Globalcomputer.com - these are the ones im going to get
Sweet. I have the Logitech Z-2300 myself. They weren't cheap though...
I bet. Anything that is actually good quality is going to be expensive.
I have to ask what was the total price on her?
For my stuff, with S&H was 750 USD. With the 22" monitor my dad bought for him self, 829.
you got to be kidding me. 829, only?? that piece of computer in here can cost as much as 2000u$d.... if you're lucky.
Lol.
Welp CKY i think i found my next computer lol, only im gonna change a few things up such as graphics and maybe look into a blueray drive...
Blu-ray eh? Should make sure that you have/are getting a Full HD (1080p) LCD screen too.
