Man, it's not too late to save your marriage.

Quick go and hit cancel!

Hope you'll be alright when she finds out.

haha, that was definitely a risky move. Good luck, man.
 
Smart move, been married close to 20 years, it's much easier to say I'm sorry after the fact than to try to talk your wife/girlfriend into spending that much money on a computer.

T.N.D.
 
OOO shes going to be TICKED :p just make sure you aadd to your argument when she explodes that you can sell some or all of these parts later on when you tire of them, instead of tossing a whole bunch of cash at the ground that you can't extract any money out of later unless the whole house gets sold.

I suggest some roses and a nice long love note before she finds out.

My girlfriend and I have an understanding it seems, whatever cash i save from skipping starbucks i can use to fuel my computer room / cash vortex, Whatever else gets saved. You might offer to create a "budget" of sorts with her, so at least you'll both be satisfied when another one of these kinds of upgrades happens down the road.

FWIW, great system :beer:

That's going to be a killer system. Be sure to do plenty of OCing and benchmarking for us. :) Pictures are almost required when such a nice rig is at hand.

WOW! You got BIG BRASS ONES!! At least until she finds out, anyway. Looks like it will be a killer system.

$379 for a mobo?!? :eek:

Definitely show us some results.

And let us know how cold the dog house gets at night. LOL
 
lol, awesome build you got plotted out there.

Guess I should enjoy being single while I can, I can be as trigger happy with the checkout button as I want with no regrets. :D
 
Everything looks good but you could have done the same thing with a motherboard half the price in a p5b-deluxe but no biggie if you have the cash. You better start doing tongue excercises.
 
oh man... if the old lady found out that I did something like that.... *cringes*

I wish you the best of luck.

Oh, and nice rig.

and welcome to the forums...
