My New Rig!

I decided to upgrade my PC again this year (did it 2 years ago, but didn't go all out). My mom gave me $500 towards parts for my Christmas present, and I ended up spending about $100 out of pocket. I ended up doing more research this year and we just had a PC store open up literally a few mins away from my house. So between the store and the internet I ended up getting a pretty nice system. Here's what I ended up buying:

Chiefmax 2038 case
ASUS M3A78-CM Motherboard
WHLB 1TB HDD
ATI Radeon HD5750 Video Card
AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE CPU
Corsair 4gb (2x 2gb) RAM

I ended up keeping my Power Supply and DVD/CD drive for now, I also added the previous 2GB (2x 1GB) of Ram I had so I ended up with a 6GB machine. I also have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate.

All in all I am very happy with my set up, I ran a quick test to see how many FPS I could get in Dalaran today (World of Warcraft) and I was getting on average 30-35 FPS.

Oh I also kept my 20" HP 2009m monitor, I plan on getting an HDTV for my birthday in March so I may end up connecting my system through my TV eventually :)
