I have always been into computers and wanted to give my own build a go summer of last year. I had a little stash of money to give it a bash so I done a bit of research and what have you and went for it. Thing is, reading various threads on here has made me wonder if 1) I found this place too late, and 2) Am I bottle necking my system or is there any major flaws in it that with a few tweaks I could improve it...? Obviously any system can be improved but I hope you get the jist of what i'm saying. As I said, this was my first attempt, so go easy...
What I ended up going for;
MB - Asus Crosshair III Formula 790FX
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad 955 Core 3.2GHz Processor
Radeon HD5450 1GB
4 x 2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 Memory
Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB HDD
Samsung SH-S223L Internal 22x DVD Writer Drive
Running Windows 7 64-Bit.
Very basic graphics card I know but I only really play Footy Manager although eventually want to be playing HD Media through here and that is capable, how well, I know not. Maybe a bit of feedback on that too.
Basically, i'm here to learn or find out where to learn more about all this. Any help would be appreciated.
