I'm getting a new computer!

This is a FIRST, ladies and gentlemen! Ever since I first had my own computer (as in not shared with my mother or my at-the-time-boyfriend) I have never had an entirely new system. I may have purchased new parts here and there for minor upgrades, but the majority of my computer has always consisted of hand-me-downs.

No more! Tonight my boyfriend is assembling my brand spanking new computer! (He is sooo amazing at cable management!) Here's what's going into it:

Antec P150 case
Asus P5K S775 P35 chipset motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz 4MB cache 1333MHz
4GB Kingston DDR2 667MHz RAM
7600GT video card
Zalman VF700-ALCu video card cooler
Pioneer DVR-212D SATA DVD writer/reader
500GB Western Digital 16MB 7200rpm SATA drive
320GB Seagate IDE drive

The Seagate drive is from my current setup, so it's not SATA. The video card is new, but a gift from a friend who upgraded. The RAM is a slightly-used gift from my man, who also upgraded. So my machine will be soooo new! I am very, very excited! I'll actually have a computer that's current and can process my photos and video without hiccuping or taking several hours!

Photos will be posted when I'm online again! Yay!

I don't even know what a SATA is, but I am sure you will use it to its highest and best. Congratulations on the new stuff!

It's a new connector for hard drives. So by having a SATA drive, I am now compatible with current setups, not just systems of yesteryear. :)

In that case, Hail SATA! (wait, that sounds kinda wrong.)

I want to have sex with your computer. Except the video card. But I'm a gamer, so. :)

I'm jealous! I did get a new laptop a few years ago, but otherwise my computers are always mish mash upgrades. Enjoy!

no no no!
Elli, we've been through this before with that midnight darkness guy. Never, ever have a boyfriend build a computer. It is so much easier on a relationship to blame the pc problems on dell or hp.

You left out the most important part... what OS are you installing? A LOT of people are heading for Linux instead of Vista if they can't get their hands on XP Pro any longer.

If I get a new system in the next 6 months, I'm really torn on the OS. The hardware is easy... AMDs have been more than good to me, and I will probably drop the dimes for the AMD Phenom X4 processor. But now that I have something of a handle on Linux (I use it at work), it's definitely a consideration over Vista Business - no way do I want/need Home Premium or Ultimate, and XP Pro is being phased out by the end of the year according to Micro$oft.

(P.S. Did you check the link I posted down in the original fire-plane thread?)
