My new upgrade!

Gundog48 · 28 Jul 2010 at 20:23

Just upgraded my PC! I'm pretty broke so I am very happy. It happened thanks to a few companies providing products for me to review and a bit of saving up... I think the next job is to get a small SSD for Windows and then a GPU upgrade.

CPU- AMD Phenom II x6 @3.5GHz
RAM- 4Gb Crucial Ballistix Tracer RAM 1600MHz @CL7
MoBo- Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
GPU- 9800GTX
HDD- Hitachi Deskstar 500Gb
CPU Cooling- Xigmatek Thor's Hammer

I hope to add pics when I get my gear inside the Ironclad, its in some poor little iCute one for testing ATM. I plan to mod a side window on the ironclad rather than just the mesh, but we shall see...

I was really pleased about getting stuff to review! I'll be honest and tell you I am 14 now, but after the OCUK review contest I decided to make my own review site and put those reveiws on it. Then I managed to get in contact with someone from Xigmatek, they were impressed and sent 3 products to review. Then I got products from Spire, In-Win and Crucial. I had to offer Crucial sponsorship, but it is worth it becuase it will allow me to recieve other components rather than just cooling products. I am in the process of reviewing all the bits now.

I was very impressed to see one of my reviews appear in a Xigmatek ad in the PCFormat magazine. You get a little arcticle in a magazine but you still have to pay £6 to buy it!

My site is www.gdreviews.mfbiz.com , it's not the best, and doesnt contain lots of reviews- but I'm 14 and trying to do the whole thing by myself, which is a bit of a task!
