I am also slowly working on purchasing components for a new build. Way its been going, the parts I've purchased so far will be "antiques" by the time I get it all purchased. But a nutty fellow like me who is running FSX etc on this current old build will still be tickled by the time I get done.
If anyone remembers one of my fav all-time singers Johnny Cash (yep, I'm "aged")- "Cadillac: One piece at a Time....!"
So far I've purchased:
mobo:Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5, cpu: AMD Phenom x2 555 BE Callisto, cpu cooler: Zaward Vapor 120.
Next to purchase will be ram (1866 or is it 1066?), then psu (likely 700-750w), graphics card (base idea is 1g 256bit mem).
On a retired military pension.
