well I pulled the trigger on the components minus the CPU I will be getting that locally and save 30bucks..

I think I will get that today..going now to the Store.. wink

I also opted for just 4gb ram dont think 8gb is needed..

Now do I sell my old stuff or keep it for a 2nd rig and my old school S3D setup??

Well I just got back from the store and have the CPU in hand.. I ordered the other parts from newegg so it will take a few days to get them shipped to me. I kniow there is a local hub so hopefully thery ship from there and I might get the parts by friday..


[b] EDIT: Looks like they shipped all 3 items from close by I might even get them by tomorrow.. Starting to prime up the PC for the Switch. I am going to try a trick so I will NOT have to reinstall windows, I hope it works if not no big deal there are just a few games. and most of the important stuff I already setup with the Transfer Wizard..

I just opted to reinstall Win7 and it was rather smooth of a transition..

Frames are up in all games.. waiting to see how they do with S3D Enabled..

I am going to have to get a more powerfull PSU to get the system OC'd. I can't wait i'll I get some OC in and run the heaven benchmark again to see if OC'ng actually produces a higher score,plus I hope the FPS increase as well..

ROF, Iactually can play that now as before I had a dual core it experienced stutters and it was a known issue with that Sim and Dual cores..now the i5 just plays it at some playable frames and I could actually dogfight without the lag and stutters..

I am also currently trying to get another TH2Go so I can enable S3D Again on my noncertified DLP PRojectors..
