Well my older computer setup went as such.
-Phenom 9950
-Asus M3A-78t
-4GB OCZ Reaper DDR2-1066mghz
-Radeon 4870 1GB
-Two 1TB Seagate 7200rpm in RAID 0
The Mobo died and because my two drivers were stripped, I bought another one off ebay in order to retrieve the data. Well that mobo didn't work either. I was going to RMA my board back, but I was getting to leave for basic training and knew my wife would be moving. I didn't know what our new address was going to be so I decided to wait till I got back from basic.
During the move, somehow my CPU, vid card, ram, and both mobos got lost. So just a couple weeks ago I started shopping for more parts, kept an eye on sales, and here's what I have now.
Case:
Antec Solo around $60 a couple yrs ago on sale.
PSU:
Enermax Pro 82 (625w) Around $70 on ebay NIB a couple yrs ago.
CPU: Core i5-2500k $179+tax at Microcenter
Mobo:
Gigabyte GA-Z68x-UD3H-B3 $95+tax after MIR at Microcenter
Ram:
8GB G-Skill DDR3-2133Mhz. $75 with Newegg's deal of the day.
Boot drive:
Kingston SSD V+100 96GB $95 shipped after MIR from Amazon.
Media drives: Two 1TB Seagate 7200's, One 2TB Seagate 7200. (And 3.5TB in external storage)
DVD Burner: I forget. It has Lightscribe though
BluRay Burner: LG 12x is all I remember. I think I bought it for around $90-100 last year.
OS: Win 7 Home premium 64bit. $29.99 with student email.
Right now I am trying to get Win 7 installed. I gotta say, having to install updates which require multiple restarts is making me very happy I bought an SSD! Snappy restarts for sure.
I'll post pics later.
