I'm not. It runs fine. The only thing that pisses me off is the transfer speed on my external hard drive, but I bought it cheap so I wasn't expecting much, and it's speed is sufficient to watch movies off of it.

I am going to need to upgrade the mobo if I want a faster processor than what I'm packing, but it'll be fine for another year or two.

Solidstate is the solution. I have never experienced such an all around boost to my system as with a solid state drive. I doubt I even need the ram, I can just store it on the SSD. Yea Ram is still faster, but it takes 1 min to boot up windows 7 from the click of the button till its ready to do whatever I tell it too.

You mean your ass is growing from all that scat eating? You'll soon need a compass to find your asshole, except that you can't tell which way the needle is pointing.

There's a place for all this fighting and it is no longer here. Take it to where it belongs...you know what I mean!

Also, I'm still waiting to here how much this computer cost.

Final price ran a little above $2k. Not bad at all IMO.

So far it runs Dragon Age (my only game so far) on max settings with an exceptional framerate and very fast loading speeds.

That's really fucking expensive, my 2.4ghz dual core with 3gb and a 8800 GT runs Dragon Age with all the details on max with fast load times.

Looks pimp. Getting a 5:1 with a nice subwoofer is a bonus. Mine were cheap as shit "last years model". OHS NOES! Out of vouge surround speakers. The humiliation.
