Introduction and New Setup.

[ICanHasGigs?]

Hello, my name is Adam. Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I just discovered this site while looking up guides on how to overclock the computer I'm building. I've read a few stickies on the topic and am now explorering the orgy of information available on this site. It's wonderful.

I recently had a catastrophic failure in my old system and decided to upgrade. After the fire.....this is what I decided to go with. Opinions are GREATLY appriciated. If you guys can help me with any advice, cooling, etc., that would be awsome.

Apeiva X-Jupiter G Type ATX Full-Tower Case.

XFX nForce 680i LT SLI Motherboard CPU Bundle - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor 2.40GHz OEM, 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 OCZ Memory (2 x 2048MB)

DUAL BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT OC 512MB PCIe 2.0

Ultra / ChillTec / Socket 939/775/AM2 / Thermal Electric CPU Cooler

BFG - 800-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply 12v x 2

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 5.1 channel (Logitech Z-5500)

28" Samsung HD 780i LCD (resolution for THIS setup, unsure, last was 1378 x 786)

And I bought this on impulse. It was like 12 bucks. Glows blue and should look great at least.

Should have everything together by tomorrow. My plan with this system is to OC it to 2.8-3.0 GHz to run my pc games. Flight Sim X, Crysis, COD 4, WoW and such.

Criticism? Your thoughts?

Like I said, I'm somewhat new at this. This is my first build since, "the great fire of 2007";found out it was a faulty psu.

Thanks in Advance!

-Adam

Welcome to the forum! I haven't heard of the BFG except for seeing it at Fry's last week. Looks like a good build. I'd just hope that BFG didn't buy some crap and slap their name on it so they could sell tons of them.
