My new rig!

Well I've been long overdue for a PC upgrade. My old rig consisted of the following.

Asus A7N8X Motherboard
AMD 2200+ XP CPU
ATI All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro
1GIG DDR Ram
70GIG HDD + 60GIG HDD

So this is what my new rig is looking like.

Asus A8N-SLI Premium Mobo
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester
eVGA Geforce 7900GT Video card
1GIG DDR Ram (same ram as before)
300GIG HDD

I know it's only a few components I upgraded but I can see a very big performance increase, and my little brother is happy because I was able to make him a computer with my old components. I did stick with my old Lian-Li PC60 case, but I plan on buying a Lian-Li V COOL PC-V1200B case soon (Linkage).

I'm gonna be overclocking both the CPU and the video card as soon as I get a good water cooling system. I'll also be buying a second video card within the next few months for some SLI sexyness. I've been playing Oblivion and it looks great. Haven't had time to install HL2 yet to see how much better it runs, but I'll be doing it soon since the new expansion is coming out soon. But I'll post some pics once i get the new case.
