My speakers are hidden away one behind my left monitor and one behind the filing cabinet :]

[quote=walridge3]Pretty good, though the graphics is seriously a bottleneck; I bought a 5670 for my brother's 2.33 GHz C2D system and that's more powerful than the 5450... anyways, I swear every few weeks you make a new one of these; every time just as filled with random non-Computer related tech (really, sound reactive cathode lights necessary to be listed?). I guess every time there's new people reading it, cause I see it too many times to care.. it's really unbalanced, you should go for more powerful video cards cuz it really just seems like a waste to have such a powerful CPU and a weak graphics, especially overclocked.

Edit: The Radeon 5670 supports Eyefinity and it's the best video card you can get that doesn't use an additional PCI-E power cable. As I said, got it for my brother and he can run it using a 300W power supply.

Edit 2: Where's the side cover for the case? You're just inviting dust into there and it's a shame your system is in such poor care.[/quote]

Ohh Okayy D: I could possibly sell my 5450 and upgrade to something better but I need to know what I will get out of upgrading a graphics card? Because if it does me no good then I don't see any point really D: If there is a good reason then I should upgrade soon :} Oh okayy, the side cover for my case is stored away. Right now I don't see any dust and I don't really think that It will be such a problem as I have spare compressed air cans which I can just blow dust out if it enters my case. But right now It looks like its 99% in the same condition as I built it :}

[quote=WebSurfer09]That's a very nice setup you got there.
Although I would prefer larger monitors or ones that aren't widescreen if you have a multimonitor setup.
And why not an i7? Did you get this before it came out or something?[/quote]
Well the only gaming I am doing is Maplestory and I am going to be video editing so I thought the i5 would be suitable as I won't be doing anything too intensive D:
The thing which pulled me away the most was when I was planning to buy everything and so hyped up... my iPhone got stolen so I had to buy one VERY QUICKLY liek asap before anyone finds out. Luckily I pulled together enough money for the i5 system and a new iPhone and spare money for christmas presents :}

[quote=godIhateyou]Eww why the 5450? Dx[/quote]
I could upgrade to the best one now if I wanted too.. However I felt like it was a waste not using my 5450 until it gets old or something happens to it. I feel like it's a waste because I upgraded my graphics card a couple of time and I have no use for it : Eyefinity was enough for me and this card costed £75 and now theres better cards comming out and It's a waste if I keep on trying to catch up with the latest model :]
