Now i'm excited that she did this and cant wait to come home and actually get to play on it,hopefully she won't get to mad if im on quite a bit,but i think i might have changed a couple things.Of course my model would have been a little on the higher side so its actually a good thing that she was the one that did it.I only have a couple questions on the boost of the cpu,graphics,and memory about what would the increase be,and would there be room for upgrades in that type of case,and the power should be enough for future upgrades?

she ordered it a couple days ago,not sure on ticket #,i had her go ahead and change the chassis to the coolmaster haf 932.will try to get her to send me ticket#.

doesnt matter realy he got some liquid cooling for that 940 , nice chance of a good overclock.
wifey did a good job seeing as she doesnt know what shes doing :D

the gpu we can oc if you needed it, which I doubt but its real easy to do, nothing like cpu.

and the ram you won't notice the difference much, so drop that too other then that you are good

looking at around 3.8GHz

crap I just noticed, drop the LC from gpu total waste and could be headache, no LC on gpu.

LC the cpu and OC the cpu only, nothing else needs LC or OC.

DS are good people, they will do it, it should save you some bucks too

you got a 940, at this point you would be wasting your money to go with a 965 save that money and when vertex 2 comes out, get that and use that as HDD1, its has crazy speeds

Trust me, I don't donate my time to just any company, let along to this extent, but when I see a diamond, I think we should all benefit from it, DS is a great company

DS has an A+ BBS rating.  I think you just saw a little of why the rest of us went with them.  I am extremely happy with my beast.  I monitor both Cyberpower and DS. The service before and after the sale is what convinced me to go with DS.

Yes god bless wives. When I served during the Gulf War in 90' - 91' my wife was a great support to me while I was away. It is not easy for them either. Enjoy that machine you have earned it.

I have to be honest.  Do you know how hard it would be to take the beast out of the box and awaken it just to put it back.    Most people would be in gaming heaven once the dream machine fired up and it takes an intervention team to get some people off the computer to go to work or just get back to normal living functions like eating or sleeping.
