I finally decided to build my own computer setup, and yeah I know what you're thinking "wow it's about time you're getting a new computer, you loser!!" and I agree, I am a loser, but now I can finally start work on Cartoon Animations, lots of Book Illustrations projects, have better video editing and now I can play games on steam much and much more easier with better quality.

Yeah after a year of complaining about this crappy-laptop I finally got in into the mindset of making my own pc instead of buying one prebuilt. To demonstrate how crappy my laptop is, here are the specs I am currently "migrating from": Intel Core 2 Solo T5850 @ 2166 MHz, 2 GB Ram and integrated graphic. Yep those are the specs do suck balls however they brought you all of these videos here on youtube :^). So if this new system isn't an upgrade then I honestly don't know what the hell is.

I mostly got all the in now and is waiting for my new cpu to arrive for the moment. Oh yeah the Segate barracuda harddrive I mention might be replaced, reasons why will be in part two of this video.
Note: Not all of the parts have yet arrived during the recording this video here. The ram/Harddrive was still in transit at the time, they will all be in part 2.
So far the budget spent on this pc is at $609.75 if you include an oem version of Windows 7 then it might be $709.75 So far I'm not including software in the "build budget", just hardware and parts.

If you're interested in the build specs then here they are:

-Was an AMD Phenom X4 9750 2.4Ghz, and now is a Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition 3.40GHz(will be seen in video 2)

-LG 22X DVDRW

-Gigabyte M68MT-D3 GeForce 7025 DDR3 AM3 Motherboard

-Cooler Master Elite 310 ATX Case

-Corsair 4GB 1333mhz DDR3 Memory (2x2GB) [with another set of (2x4GB) 8 gigs G.SKILL Ripjaws Series"coming soon next month"]~ [great deals @ newegg & tigerdirect]

-XFX HD-467X-ZDF2 ATI Radeon HD 4670 1GB VideoCard (will be replaced with a Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 sometime in January)

-Seagate 1TB Barracuda (Might change to a Western Digital WD10EALS Caviar Blue Hard Drive - 1TB, 7200RPM, 32MB. Reasons why will be in video 2)

-other essentials like keyboard+mouse, power-supply, sata cables, case fans you know stuff like that.

Yeah I know the videocard isn't the best, however will upgrade that later but the 4670 shouldn't bottleneck my system. So yeah all of the parts will be in video two.
