WD Velociraptor 300gb
EVGA NVidia GTX 285

Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit



I play....

COD-WaW
Doom 3
iRacing.com (Absolutley AWESOME if you are into racing at all)
Battlefield 1942 (Complete Addition)
and Battlefield 2, but was having issues with it... I might reinstall it and try it again. It would just hang, Dont think it likes Windows Vista too much... I just learned compatibility mode, so i might give that a shot!

I think a beast of a pc like that earns a bigger effort on the cable management..

I'll post pics of my actual monitor soon, oh and I'd go back and edit out your order number man. Not smart.!

Also, getting the 750i FTW. I'm going to give you some Solid advice here, the 750i and most motherboards take RAM with EPP, enhanced Performance Profile. as DDR2-800 is default, and 1000, or 1066 will show up as ddr2-800 when you install into a system, unless it has EPP. then it will run at 1066 or something like that, G-Skill has great RAM, I've used them for years. and I've never had problems, but they do not use EPP. and some OCZ products don't either.. Now you can get some cheap ram, but I don't recommend it. I had the G-Skill 2x2GB PC2-8000 (1000MHz) RAM for my 750i, and they never ever ever ran at 1000 Mhz stable.. never. even with loose timings. stock timings are 5-5-5-15, and they could not do that either.

The highest they were able to run without BSOD on my 750i was 933 MHz.. sadly, so i paid the price and got the 2x2GB G-skill PC2-8500 (1066 MHz), and they were the SAME way, I was angry. I used them for months and months. get ram that have EPP with the board, I'm going to suggest you get the Corsair Dominator 2x2GB PC2-8500C5D. they are 1066 Mhz, and they worked at 1066 the first time. (only ram that has in my board) and they are at stock timings of 5-5-5-15 and I can run them at 1120 Mhz. Nice huh.

they used to be expensive ram, but now they are only $59.99 after MIR.
Newegg.com - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

I'd get those, that is what I have, Might as well spend the $25 dollars and get those over the cheaper G-skill or OCZ that wont run as well, or stable.

Let me know if you have questions.
