We are waiting for packages to arrive. All I have left are replacement case fans, a Blu Ray drive and some cables if we need them for hooking this all up. Oh, yeah... I'm still missing a VIDEO CARD!
The AMD cards are still impossible to come by for any kind of reasonable price. the 30-60% mark up still exists for everything that is available. I am still mulling over my choice for a GTX 770 or GTX 780. I've had some of my parts for almost a month now. I am itching to get it all put together. I know that I can use my HD 6870 until I get a card, but I know that I'll yearn for a card the whole time. Most of my games will perform the same, since I'll be reusing the card. The SSD and better CPU should help a little.
I have enlisted the help of my brother to take some photos and videos of the build process. I want to document it so that I can put it up. I'll post a link to a gallery here. Put it on imgur. Get it up on Reddit. And... put it up on the website that I am going to work on this year. With my brother and a couple of friends I plan to tackle a bit of webpwning. I've registered a domain, got hosting, got some people on board and I am wanting to unveil my PC build there. Woo!
I can't wait to wrap this project up and get down to some gaming!
