Got my new rig finally!

In the end I went for:

Athlon 64 3800+ Venice
Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9
2x512mb Geil pc3200
Gigabyte Radeon X800 XL
36.7Gb WD Raptor 10,000rpm

What does anyone reckon?

I'm well excited, finally I'm getting rid of my Athlon 1.4Ghz and Geforce 3 system.

Does anyone have any advice as to make my life easier with the install? Lessons learned etc?

Cheers.

ONLY 37GB of HDD space!? With your new rig and all the new games youll be wanting to play youll fill that in a matter of days.

should be straightforward, all i can say is make sure to put the heatsink on before you install the mobo, so you dont bend it if it turns into a wrestling match...

The Raptor is for Windows, the swap file and whatever game I'm playing at the moment.

I have another 80gb of space on other drives.

It's time for me to make other people jealous, I've been jealous of other rigs for too long!

oh, and dowload all the drivers you'll need before you swap everything over.

Sounds like a very nice machine.
Good spec.

Thats one hell of an upgrade from your original. As said though, in this day, you will probably need a bigger harddrive.

I agree the one I have on order now which only has 80gb of hd space right now, need to plan out a nice external storage drive.

:LOL:

Tie you over, or Tide you over..... The former sounds a bit kinky to me, is that why you wanted the USB lead? :D

Right I'm back with it all installed.

Not done anything with it yet.

Pictures wise, where should I put them?
