new rig is finally here

It has been awhile since I got a new computer last time, in fact it was more like 6 years ago where I was forced to get a new computer for school because the computer I had prior to that was so ancient it was literally falling apart. So as you can see I like to put stuff off as long as humanly possible and sometimes I just feel if it aint broke why fix it.

But time has come and I realize I must part from the Gateway computer that served me well in browsing the internet, typing word documents and play casual games. In fact I realized this probably a year ago when that good old pentium 4 started to go into overdrive just from watching an HD video on youtube. However I managed to put it off for another 6 months after that but now I have finally got enough in me to pull the trigger in buying a new rig, and here are the specs:

Case: Antec 900

Motherboard: EVGA X58 SLI

Processor: Intel Core i7 920

Graphics Card: MSI Geforce GTX 260

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 750gb

Ram: Corsair DDR3 1066 6gb

PSU: Antec True power 750 watts

CPU fan: Zalman 120mm LED

Monitor: Asus VH222H 22inch 1080P

DVD: Sony Optiarc

OS: Windows 7 home premium 64bit

This is my first custom built rig and to answer your question yes it can play Crysis. I am still working out the bugs since windows 7 is somewhat different from XP and I haven't really put the rig in any sort of gaming tests yet although I did tried to play the new racing game Dirt 2 and was getting 100 fps on 1920x1080. More updates coming soon.
