New pc

Hi!

Greetings people!

I upgraded my PC [supercharger]! It's been two-three weeks since I actually upgraded it, but now I got the chance to write about it.

I bought the following things:

• A Gigabyte X58A-UD7 (here's a more detailed description)
• A Core i7-920 (2.66GHz, LGA 1366)
• An OCZ Gold Low-Voltage 6GB DDR3-1600 RAM (PC3-12800) Kit
• An Intel Postville X25-V 40GB SSD
• A Nexus 1000Watt Power Supply
  

So, by keeping the following components from my old computer, I assembled the new supercharger:

• NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT (1GB DDR3) [I can't remember the brand though]
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 (160GB SATA) [tell me the reason why this is the best hard disk ever]
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (320GB SATA)
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (320GB IDE)
• Western Digital Caviar Blue (500GB SATA)
• Samsung SH-S183L DVD-RW (SATA)
• NEC (Sony) Optiarc DDU1675A DVD (IDE)
• Razer DeathAdder Mouse
• Logitech NewTouch Keyboard 200
• Samsung P2350 TFT (that's sort of new actually, I bought it a week before buying the other stuff, knowing that I will buy the rest soon ;))
• Creative Live! Camera
• CSR based Bluetooth Module (2.0+EDR, class, 1 100m range)
• Cambridge Soundworks 4 point surround FPS1600
• Chieftec Dragon case (black) [this is the best looking case ever. Important: it's the old version, without the transparent left cover]
  

I installed Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on two 20GB partitions of the SSD and I'm happy playing Left 4 Dead 2 :P

Ta ta,
