hi guys, my stuff has came in. I have every thing here except the cpu. Sadly new egg dont have x3350 and i ordered from ncix which is an Canada store. they claimed that it'd be shipped on the 25th, still isnt here..... i'm gettin worried already. any one bought things from ncix? how long do they actually take? i'm looking at the tracking number, it says that it's still in the warehouse and i dont see any movements from site.


PICS!

Have you tried contacting NCIX (either site, since they're parts of the same company) and seeing whether or not they could transfer your order from the Canada site to the U.S.?

Do you still have time to request a return/refund? (I know that's not the best option, but in your case, it may still be possible.)
 
Nice selection of parts!

Probably a bit too late to nitpick now but why did you go for that X48 mobo?

Yeah and if you can get a refund, you get the Q9450 for $350 off newegg now.
 
i could try and call and get transfered, i'm not sure since the package is in transit. it's sitting at the customs right now i think.

ty danny. i choosed the x48 since many people recommended it. i dont mean every one, just those i needed to hear from :p. I herd dfi boards are great for overclockers and such. I switched from p5k from asus to evga 7 series.... then im like hmm i'll hopp to dfi x48 for the hell of it and i didnt want to go though all of the headaches on those 7 series boards from evga.
 
YAY putting it ALL TOGETHER!!!!! wait patiently, i'll upload pics...

what programs should i dl? i wanna know whats the "score" for my rig and stuff. i'm still a noob at this, please help me out!
 
Just write 14000 on a piece of paper then stick it in an envelope. Open it a bit later and act surprised :p

But seriously... Just install the stuff that you normally use. You'll probably feel a difference right away and that's all that matters.
 
i will have everything i normally use on it. however i never done any benchmarking or something... it's a complete new field for me.
 
Ahh don't worry about benchmark scores. I personally don't much stock into 3DMark scores. Just play your games and see if you notice a difference.
 
3DMark06 is fun to watch in Demo mode and gives you numbers when you run the benchmark. Vantage might be fun to watch once.
 
lol... but if you must, super pi mod 1.5 for a single core of your cpu. 3dmark for your vidcard. pcmark for your whole system. hdtune and hdtach for your hdd's. sandra has a good memory test for windows, and then of course memtest for a standalone memory test. there's others, too, like sandra, everest, winstone or whatever, and all that jazz.

for programs to help oc, check the sticky in the oc subforums.
 
hey guys, i got it all together! right now it's running really great! here are the pics!!
