Just upgraded my Case, CPU, mobo, graphics card, and ram bitches...Happy early birthday to me

Newegg.com - Corsair Carbide Series 500R Black Steel structure with molded ABS plastic accent pieces ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Newegg.com - ASUS M4A87T AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

Newegg.com - HIS H775F1GD Radeon HD 7750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Newegg.com - AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8120FRGUBOX

Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

I also remembered to go through TPG

~~That motherboard doesn't support bulldozer processors 100%~~

Actually that motherboard doesn't support bulldozer processors AT ALL....

**rush2049** · 02-18-12, 05:57 PM

Get this one instead, same price: Newegg.com - ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

I also wouldn't have went with corsair for budget ram, they tend to use crappy IC's on the mid-low range stuff. I recommend G.Skill if you are going to get 1600 CL9 stuff (what I have). They use high end IC's on their mid range lines. You can usually overclock / adjust timings to get speed equivalent of their higher ranges. But ultimately it is your choice.

Why would they combo a Mobo with the CPU if it doesn't work with it...Damn it newegg...those bastards...

**rush2049** · 02-18-12, 07:39 PM

Some asus am3 boards are upgradable to support some of am3+ 's features.... that one is not.

I think I remember somewhere reading on newegg's site about how they don't guaranty compatibility....

**Adretheon** · 02-18-12, 09:53 PM

Well they are gay, cause it cost me $13 more cause I didn't get a combo buy discount. Least I got it haha

Shoulda just got an AM3 board and an 1190T instead of the shit on a stick that is bulldozer (since you probably wanted to stay amd instead of intel).

You could've saved $10 with this ram:
Newegg.com - GeIL Enhance CORSA 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model GEC38GB1600C9DC

Corsair ram is over-hyped and overpriced.

**Adretheon** · 02-20-12, 06:17 PM

Actually, I got the Corsair Ram for about $24. Since I combo'ed it with the Case and got 25$ off for the combo discount. Really the only reason I went with it.

Ahh, I see. That's a good price.
