About an hour and a half. Motherboard etc was just an unscrew from my old case and re-screw into my new case.

Trust me. I had originally planned to do it, however I went for 8GB and was going to buy another 8GB if it was needed, and honestly I've never used more then 4GB, so It'd be about a £100 waste.

Smart to do. I don't think that much RAM is even needed right now anyways. You'd have to be running like 4 games at once and never close anything while using like 3 monitors. As programs and games advance it will become mandatory.

I don't like the case all that much. But that means nothing. Tongue

Looks like your bottleneck is going to be your graphics card.

Yeah it will be. I was going to upgrade it today actually. I've put that on hold though. It was a case of buy the graphics card when my 5770 is playing everything on max settings @ 50fps besides crysis/Metro, or buy a 32" Monitor that I can double as a TV when I move out.

$1200 for that? Damn that's amazing.

I bet you can sell that for $2,000. That is $800 of profit for the amount of time you spent building it. Beat that minimum wage.

Every time I think about selling it I think of giving away a piece of my soul. I just can't do it!

Edit : It's so cheap because I managed to get my processor for £120 browsing around for hours. Ended up getting it off of eBay (Motherboard too).
