Early Birthdays are great!

My Birthday is March 5th, but my family got paid before and after that day so I got some presents early!!!

My mom got me a TV, 32" Sony Bravia 720p HDTV. It was regularly $448 but I ended up getting a floor model that was on sale for $398 and another 10% off so I got a $450 TV for $383!!! I hooked up my computer to my tv since I have an HDMI port on my video card, the computer looks great. I was watching some HD videos last night and playing WoW in 1600:900 resolution and it's amazing!!!

































My Dad got me a Blu Ray player (my younger brother sold me his that he just bought 2 months ago for $75, regular $130, so my Dad just bought that for me!) He also gave me 2 gold tipped HDMI cables.

My younger brother bought me 2 figurines, an Illidan Demon Form and an original Batman and Robin remake set. Here they are:





Thanks guys for the great Birthday so far!!!

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 :)

UGH!!!!

I TRULY HATE THEM!!!
