Well, after weeks of delays, I have finally ordered my PC
Here are the final specs:
AMD Phenom ii x2 555 BE (going to unlock to 4 cores)
G Skill 4GB 1333 DDR3 RAM
Biostar A880G+ MotherBoard
Antec BP550 Plus 550w PSU
Cooler Master Elite 430 Case
I'm also getting 2 80mm MASSCOOL fans and 1 120mm blue LED Rosewill fan
Also, a Laptop HDD to IDE adapter so I can use my laptop Hard Drive as my main, until I get a SSD
I was going to get a 500GB HDD but with that flood in Taiwan, Hard Drive prices have skyrocketed, so I will make do with 224 GB until HDD prices go down to about $50 for 500GB like they were before.
I'm also going to get a Sapphire Radeon 6850 for $150 next month, but I'll still have about $100 left over, so I have two options for next month.
1. I buy a 64 GB SSD and put all my OS files for ultimate boot speeds
2. I hold on to it and get a monitor the next month, hopefully a 23 inch 1080p
Depending on how much money I have next month, I probably can buy the monitor later and still buy the SSD at the end of this month, so #1 is my preferred choice, but I want to know what you guys think. Please rate my system and tell me if I should do 1 or 2!
And another thing that sucks, the adapter thing for my HDD has 3 day shipping instead of the 2 day shipping everything else has, so I won't be able to use it until Monday, unless UPS has a change of heart and brings it early :)
Pics coming soon, and I will most likely be playing Minecraft, TF2, L4D, and those types of low graphics games until I get my GPU.
Expect a lot more posts next week, and happy 11/11/11!

Minecraft
Hey, I'd like to talk about one of my favorite games, MINECRAFT! I haven't been able to play Minecraft, due to my laptop blowing up (I actually broke the screen pretty badly in a funny way). But as you may know from one of my older posts, I am going to buy a new computer soon, and I will finally be able to play Minecraft again! YAY! Secretly, I just downloaded an updatable torrent. I feel bad, and it kind of sucks, because Minecraft is much more fun with friends. I will buy it when I get my new PC, as it is only €14.95 or $22. I really like this game, I understand why people might not, but I don't understand why someone would hate it. Playing by yourself, you might get bored, once you do everything and you don't want to no life it up to create a huge castle or a replica of the 7 star hotel in Dubai or something. But playing with your friends is a great experience, as you will be able to build, mine, explore, or just mess around with your friends.

Game Console War
Hey guys, I want to list the pros and cons of different game consoles to give you my opinion about them.
PS Thanks for all your comments about TV shows on my last post.
Playstation 3
Pros
Free online
More exclusive games
More processors
Blu-ray
Low failure rate
Bigger and replacable HDD
Quieter
Cons
Not as well designed online network
No cross game chat
Xbox 360
Pros
Better online network
More players
Cross Game voice chat
Cons
High Failure Rate (RRoD)
Proprietary Hard Drive
Louder
Power Supply not in unit
Computer/PC
Pros
Can play games at a higher FPS than consoles
Can do much more things than play games
Higher Resolution
Dedicated Servers
Mods
Minecraft
Cons
Much more expensive
More problems with games (unupdated drivers, incompatible specs, etc)
Bad gameplay for those without good computers
These are the facts, not opinions so don't disagree. I have only played XBOX 360 a couple of times, I don't own one, so most of those were taken from different websites. I like PS3, but if I had the money to buy an MLG gaming computer that can run Crysis 2 max settings at 960985938903 FPS or something, I would definitely pick that over a console. Leave your opinions in the comments section.
