Got my computer parts in today! SO EXCITED!
[image loading]


Thanks to the help I got from the computer build thread here on TL, I will finally be able to play SC2. So far, an abysmal frame rate on low has prevented me from playing with friends or laddering much at all...

Now all I have to do is put it together. Sounds fun to me.

6850 is quite nice. Cheaper than the 5870 with only slightly less performance (with my 5870 I stream at Ultra about 60 fps >:D)

Been using a 6850 myself, great card but my XFX model which looks like yours is as well, is pretty loud which took some getting used to. It's louder than my two old 5770's!

Have fun building
Just a simple guy, going wherever this journey takes me.

I've got a Intel Xeon 3.6 Quadcore with 24 Gb of RAM at work. I wonder how that will run SC2

IT TURNED ON!!!

A bit of a scare there when I first tried to turn it on, but then I realized I missed the EPS power connector on the mobo. Plugged that in and I'm now installing windows.

and then pray that none of your components are bad! I've had terrible luck with a faulty radeon 6870 twice in a row now.

great choices there. Congrats! Have fun building. I absolutely love researching computer parts and then putting them together. I'm hoping to build a computer for my father-in-law soon...helping me get my next "fix."
