The process of building a new computer has begun!
I’m very excited to announce that I am going to be building a new computer for my home desktop. It’s been about 7 or 8 years since I built my current computer, so I would say it’s definitely time for a major upgrade. Last night, I order most of the main parts from Newegg.com and I’ve listed them all below.
- Case = Corsair Obsidian Series 800D
- PSU = Corsair CMPSU-750HX 750W
- Motherboard = GIGABYTE GA-790FXTA-UD5
- CPU = AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz
- Memory = OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB)
- Video Card = EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+
- Hard Drives = Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB (2)
I also plan on setting it up for liquid cooling, but I haven’t ordered any of those parts yet. I still have some research to do for that part of it.
I will be posting updates on here as things unfold, so you should subscribe to get updated about new posts.
I’m so excited!

I’ve created a new category named My New PC, so you can easily follow along with this topic.
I hate to rain on your parade, but ordering a phenom 965 wasn’t the smartest idea. The 955 is the same chip but has an unlocked multiplier, so you can have a 965 with just a bump, and then have more flexibility in overclocking.
Also, your video card is pretty lame. Personally, I would have saved up for a better video card instead of getting two big hard drives.
I wasn’t aware of that, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. As far as the video card goes, I don’t play games. That video card should work just fine.
I really do appreciate the input though.
