ALL RIGHT, well, i've done most of my computer, fooled around with 6+ HDD's of 250GB trying to get them all in RAID, reinstalled Windows, had tons of dumb errors, and i am now on the final stretch for victory of my PC!
Total Specs up to this point: (prices are approximate, as I haven't remembered them all. If you ask, I can look them up fairly easily)
AMD 8150 FX 8-core 3.6 Ghz (<free> THANKS RAMBO, you're AWESOME!) (Windows Experience index: 7.6)
ASROCk 990FX Extreme9 (if i'd done some more searching, pci-e 3.0 would have been nice, but w/e. this'll last me until I can pay off the car)
16 GB of RAM (7.6 on the index) ($300)
ATi Radeon 7970 3GB GDDR5 (7.9) ($300)
Case: Rosewill Thor ($230)
Corsair 850W Gold Semi-modular PSU ($250)
Samsung Evo 126 GB SSD (~$100)
8200 Dpi mouse (no linux support) ($30)
Salvaged Laptop Screen controller from ebay ($50) this screen has max res of 1600x 900, which actually my laptop hardware couldn't go to, it only went to like 1440xSomething, so that was a neat surprise.
Laptop screen stand from cardboard cutout box: $0
Sennheiser HD595 headphones ~$120 (Skyrim and Doom BFG... super expensive, it was like 90 bucks all together.
This hobby's kind of out of hand... I need to stop buying things. Yeah, God would probably want me to stop. Why did i even mention God? idk.
The next step, in all honesty, is a 2560x1440 display, which I am NOT purchasing unless I can get it for sub-$200. I'll get, believe me.
