Title: Nate is not going to be mobile for much longer (Building a desktop finally)
Post by: Nate on July 20, 2012, 03:07
My asus laptop that i purchased in april of this year has failed me last week, which is why i havent been ingame. Luckily i had a warranty plan for it so i am getting a check for the amount spent on the laptop. I am going to combine this to with the money i have been saving for about 10 months now and build my own desktop. Here is the list of parts i am going to be using:

Mobo (wouldnt let me add to the wishlist): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293)

The budget for this build was ~$1000. The reason the list shows it as $1150 is because i used some combo's to save money. Hopefully will have this system up and running within a week. Let me know what you think.

[07:12:38] Nathan WhatInTheButt: Dude you need to help me figure out how I am going to convince my parents that I know how to build a computer. They don't think I can do it.

Welp, hmm.
