I kind of did it in a "fit of fury" but this is the FIRST time I'm spending so much money at one go. Was breaking out in cold sweat when I handed over the money...heart really ache...
Spent almost 1 whole day assembling the computer! (it's my first time assembling a computer from scratch...)
Lots of ups and downs, and met a lot of obstacles and errors throughout the assembling, from hardware to software, stupid craps and in the end I just reformat the H/D, cause the "Change Mobo without reinstalling OS" method didn't work...
But right now, at this moment, I'm finally enjoying my fruits of labor~Medival 2 Total War and Civilization 4 on huge maps, with max settings~not to mention incredible speed across all~
Total Damage: $1200
Luckily, I've gave up the Sound Cards and stuffs at the moment. Decide the Creative XMod isn't so viable because I just realize it cannot be used on the go...so it isn't really "true-portable" in a sense. It can only be powered using USB...I think it's a huge overlook on Creative Part. Anyway, heard there's going to be a warehouse sale near Christmas period, with Audigy 2 refurbished Sound Card going for like $29! Looks like a good deal~
