After saving and waiting and waiting and waiting some more...

All my parts came in today, and I started building my computer!

+ Show Spoiler +
Case: Antec 902
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
CPU: i5-2500
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 6870
PSU: Corsair 750W
CPU Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212+
HDD: WD Caviar Black 500GB
RAM: PNY Optima 8GB
Monitor: Acer 21.5''


And my mouse, keyboard, and cd/dvd drive are just super cheap standard whatnot.


I also have an Intuos4 Large Wacom tablet, because I am studying animation and digital graphics! :D I have been unable to use it with my crappy little MacBook because Photoshop crashes my whole computer. But now... I have the Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection, and my new computer, so I can do EVERYTHING! (and actually have things to put on my dA)

Had to leave it to go to work, but I will be off in an hour, and all that's left is connecting all my cords and wires! (Easier said than done, because my graphics card is freaking huge and obnoxious, so I keep having to take things out to connect something or other.)

Once I have it set up, I can install all kinds of goodies! A friend set up a Steam account for me (for the first time lol, since I have always had a MacBook) and gave me some new games! (No idea what it is yet though.) Then my new Adobe programs, and of course SC2 (which I will finally be able to play without lag!), and I can start playing around with my Google+ account I finally got today!

And next week I am going to NYC to see a friend and have a vacation from work to be spoiled! Andddddd... the only thing sad about today was Sheth lost vs Squirtle. T_______T

TL;DR:

New computer
New software
New games
New Wacom Tablet
Chinese food for lunch
Google+ account
Vacation next week
Today was pay day
Going to get off work, ditch the uniform, don my TL shirt
Life is awesome.

I'm pretty jelly of your new PC... >:|

I don't get the tablet thing, though. Is it a peripheral you plug into your PC and use to draw on?

Have a good vacation.

Red's PC imba!

I was bothering you on Skype to make sure you didn't miss Sheth's games, but I would be silly to think you wouldn't tune in.. :p

@LazyMacro: Yeah, the tablet basically matches up with any area on your screen so you can produce digital art work easily by drawing directly on the tablet with a stylus (looks like a pen, feels like a pen, has no ink). It's pretty great if you are spending a lot of time and effort drawing/animating/whatever.

Nice, my comp died a few weeks ago and I just got my new one too. Felt transcendent that day (2 days ago).

That sounds really cool. I'd wondered how people could draw so well on the computer. You should share some of your work.

Yup, wish I could get a new one. It's pretty terrible for SC2.

But anyways, congratulation!

I'm so jelly of your new computer, I can complement a peanut butter sandwich.

I'm overheating so much with rage right now... just not as much as my current computer is.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Niiicee build. How much did it end up costing when all was said and done?

Its honestly not a very good build. If you had asked advice in te tech forum you could've saved 100+ dollar.

Was looking for that "k".

Besides that nit-pick, congrats on a new computer, wish I could get a new computer.
