Today a big box came, with parts for a new computer :D

As I'm not completely crazy, I've been saving my money for three years now so I could buy this :)
The stuff I ordered:

• Case: Coolermaster CM 690 (€70)
• Motherboard: Asus P5K-E (€120)
• CPU: Intel Q6600, Quadcore ftw :p (€185)
• RAM: Kingston HyperX PC8500 (2x1gb) (€70) (Waiting for it to be delivered)
• Gfx: Asus 8800GT, 512MB, PCI-E ofcourse :) (€190)
• PSU: Some cheap one, LC-6550 (Forgot the brand :duh:) (€35) (Mark waits)
• HDD: Some 200gb Samsung, SATA II (€40) (And waits…)

Total cost including shipping fees: €740,- :)

I ordered it at two stores yesterday. The first store is pretty quick: Today they delivered the Case, Motherboard, CPU and Gfx card. Second store comes soon but they need to import it, so it'll take a few days :(

I just opened the big box and took a pic of the contents, http://i29.tinypic.com/igykba.jpg. (Yes I know of the Christmas lights, they've been there for a few years now -.-)

I now gonna build it, and keep you guys updated :)

Wish me good luck

Today I messed with the CPU, the cooler, the Motherboard and the casefans :)
Managed to put them all together, also plugged all the cables into the right sockets (I think).
