I expected to hear about it already...
Not giving you problems is it? Just to happy playing with it you forgot about me??? lol

ENJOY your new toy!

Sorry for not following up!

Yeah just finished putting it together and installing all the software. Everything has worked great! The only issue with the memory was it defaulted to 1333 but after looking it up on this forum I just had to make a change in the bios to get it to run at 1600. The whole computer runs so quietly I cant tell if its on our not without the power on light. Takes Windows to load to the sign in screen under 10 seconds, counting the bios load screen. Not used to that

I am still waiting for my storage hdd to be shipped out, once I have that then it will be complete. Right now Im currently running some stress tests, ran prime95 overnight and things look just fine. Currently running Heaven. Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it!

On a side note, do you have any recommendations for making sure I have the best settings for my computer? Right now everything is default out of the box settings.

Those are the best settings until you start overclocking. Unless you don't want the power saving mode on then there are some changes you can make. As far as I know 1333 is everybody's memory default, everything else is an overclock. Glad it's working great for you. Good solid components ALWAYS help.

ENJOY!
