Coulda got better for cheaper, but clearly much

I didn't order anything yet, clearly sure how much cheaper it can be or how it could be better as well.

I tried. Now I just don't care.

i didnt get a phone call

>ill buy your computer

>ok, i dont want to buy your computer

I don't even calculate in MIRs, they either never get received or take a year to arrive.

Opinions welcome.

Beats the shit out of my computer and I can still run Diablo 3 and skyrim with no problems.

missing an OS(lol) looks good for the money though

as for my comp: everything has shipped except my ssd, fuck you amazon. everything except the keyboard is in latham, ny, should get it tuesday i think. keyboard is coming from cali.

Make sure to get 99% of the way done, then give up.

After some review, final purchase was this:

I know you are on a budget, but biostar...

That MB has amazing reviews.

I mean, I don't know anything about it, but biostar's customer support is nonexistent

apparently ups doesnt work at all on saturdays.. qq

When you get all your parts take a pic, and take a pic of the final product too

ofc, was hoping that ups would get the shit up to syracuse or waterown today.. guess will make that trek on monday

i should take pics of my comp... cable management is nb

wanted to buy that case they used in that tutorial, make the issue of cable management virtually nil. but like 170 for a case is nn

The one you got is nearly identical

oo sweet, newegg protroll, they sent me an email saying there were still items in my cart that i might need.. was like ugh.. then nope. nothing in cart. fuck you

Make sure you read the manuals for psu, case, and mobo. Where the ram goes, where you plug stuff in to mono, etc

Hardest part of most builds is usually just the case cables to mobo wiring. Installing some aftermarket CPU coolers can be a bitch too.

am figuring the biggest pain will be connecting the psu cables to right places on mb/other components, we'll see tho i guess

They only fit where they're supposed to go. The jumpers from the case do clearly.

Got the monitor, doesn't work, returned, awesome start.

lol

Sounds familiar

amazon still hasnt shipped my ssd yet.. never ordering shit from there again lol

Amazon isn't worth it unless you have Prime.

call asus

Had free prime for three years off what was supposed to be 1 year trial

The free 2 day shipping was mostly the reason i bought anything from amazon in the first place

No need, they're sending me a new one with free 2 day shipping before I even have to send this broken one back.

should be @ nick

this is what happens when you contact them immediately

wife and i bought a new tv, cuz bedroom one broke.

gogogo panasonic

samsung > imo but what did you get?

amazon has always been n2b when it comes to ordering textbooks and shit. but 3 days processing and they havent mailed my ssd yet?

he actually didnt get a new tv, he's just dumping 800 into fixing a 500 tv.. oh wait, got my people confused

Looks like my case will be here after everything else (1-3 days), you know what that means.

400/800 but i digress

question: since my ssd is going to be late, if i just install windows on my hdd, so i can use my comp, and then just delete it back off and reinstall on my ssd when it arrives, will i lose anything other than the time that windows will feel it needs to update?

its just a fresh install of windows basically, all drivers and programs etc

may as well set up the page ofc

will just assume that it'll take me accouple of days once i get the other components in, and hope that my ssd gets here late this week
