RIP old, Welcome New!...Again!

Check it out, I may still be mourning over my Core 2 Quad system, but I sold and reused some stuff to make a new pc out of a cheap one I bought off a freind:)

Monitor: 17" Dell P780 1600x1200
Case: Sigma Gaming Shark
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower W0155RU ATX12V / EPS12V 1000W
Motherboard: ASUS M2A-VM AM2 AMD 690G Micro ATX
CPU: 3.2GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition
Memory: 2 GB Corsair Dominator PC2-6400 DDR2-800
Hard Drive: WD Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM 2x WD5000AAJS 500GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0 RAID1
Video: 768MB BFG Geforce 8800 Ultra OC
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro
OS: Windows XP MCE 2005

The Sound, Raptor, and Vid card were form my deceased system, alot survived!
I got a +6400 Black Edition from newegg cause the original 64 +4000 wont cut it, got some ram, all it had was 512mb, and I got the drives form another freind.

I built a super rig out of all of this, for like only $300 alltogether! :)

P.S. I sold the extra 8800 Ultra if you were wondering where I got the 300 dollars! One is fine enough!:)

P.P.S.
Its a tight fit wiht the ultra in the case! Can barely fit the X-Fi in it.:blahblah:

so you had a Core 2 Quad & "upgraded" to an X2 6400+?

Why?

everything else in the current Uber Rig is almost top of the line, & you downgraded the CPU?

[SuperLOZ]

No, the processor, mobo, and tv tuner were destroyed from the power surge. But the Ultras and Raptors survived, Xfi too. The stupid mobo didn't have another pci-express slot but i dont kare, i traded an ultra for a whole nother computer.

ahhh I see, I thought you sold off the Quad to upgrade this one... I have known a couple people over the last year who have done such crazy things, sell off their Intel Core 2 Duo, to go for AMD's latest top of the line, thinking it was better, & ended up with a lesser system as a result.
