I was kinda depressed and went on a shopping spree! I posted my old processor (E6600) on tipidpc just for kicks, and to my surprise some dude called my mobile and offered to buy it earlier this afternoon. So I decided to sell it to him and throw caution to the wind. I ended up getting a quad core processor (Q6600) and a new heat sink to boot! I got a Zalman CNPS8700 LED at a relatively cheap price; some dude from Dubai bought an extra unit and sold it to me this afternoon as well. I shaved off 1300 bucks on the heatsink, which was not bad at all. I also installed an all copper north bridge heatsink, an Enzotech CNB-R1 I had laying around, for good measure. Last on my list of upgrade for this year or maybe until next year is a new graphics card. At the moment I am using the built in graphics of the Fatal1ty F-I90hd which I think is an ATI x1250 class graphics processor. I'm planning on getting an ATI card, since am just tired of seeing Nvidia hogging most of the market, also the high-end Nvidia cards don't have hardware decoding for video formats which sucks. So am sticking with ATI, I got my eye on the new HD2900pro when it comes out depending on the price, or the old scholl x1950XT overdrive edition from Gecube. |
