hello every one: and happy new year

This is my 1st post and 1st Build the year 2010

i think this is the place to ask if i need a little help.

it consists of the following

OVERCLOCKED* AMD Phenom II X3 Tri Core 720 2.80GHz @ 3.30GHz

Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P Motherboard

Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3 XMS3 PC2-1600C9D Twin

Asus ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply

1 sweet VelociRaptor Drive ( love the crunching sound)

Windows 7, Pro 64 bit

If you have any advice for me before it gets here and i start it, ( think O/c is snowed under but im in no hurry) i will bow down to your greatness,

ps im 43 and a antique restorer and this is a gaming rig I have some pc savey about me .

You should be fine building your new years rig

it might be worth upgrading to the quad core phenom.

BTW you posted this in the wrong forum.

edit: slow reply

Good luck with the build, and make sure you use standoffs!

standoffs, Yes ok i have just seen the master piece of work on how to build your case ,,

reflux · 1 Jan 2010 at 12:34

Just that there was a build recently where the dude didn't know he needed them...switched his brand new PC on and blew the mobo

It's the sort of thing seasoned builders don't even think about needing, but is easily missed if you're new to things.

Instead of saying using block capitals and spaces, you could just as easily say *a competitor*
