Well, I did it.

Just posting to say that I just pulled the trigger on a new build moments ago.

and once again, reading these forums helped out a lot. I had taken a long break from PC desktop use, and my P4 canterwood setup will finally be retired. These forums are always a great help when deciding how and what to build!

When my order from newegg arrives this week, I'll finally be able to use PCI express! lol

Quad core, 8GB of ram, more than 1TB of storage space, and an ATI 4850. (not to mention the bad ass case and corsair PSU). I should be able to run my FEA software, and game too!

Research - complete.
Purchase - complete.
Waiting - begins.

computers are fun. :D
 
Don't keep us in suspense -- what did you order (and from where)?

Asus P5Q-Pro
Q6600
2x 4GB G-skill
2 x WD640GB
MSI radeon 4850 (the one with the fancy heatpipe cooler lol)
Xigmatek S1283 (and the retention bracket)
Optiarc DVD burner (damn you plextor for your current drives being shit)

(all from newegg)

and a corsair 620HX from buy.com

oh, and the antec P182se that I got from newegg on that deal a few weeks ago.
