to start, ive heard bad things about the wine voucher, it comes in every box, ive thrown away dozens.

second, the mail in rebate doesnt come in your package, you go to newegg, look in your order history and it should say "print rebate" on there.
itll open a pdf, you follow the link and fill the information for your rebate, ensure its accuracy, they will use any excuse they can to not pay you or make you re-do it.
then once thats done youll get a form to print out, print it, sign it, tape your UPC you cut from the box on it. cut out the mail in address with an exacto knife and tape it to your envelope.
print out the invoice from newegg for your order and circle the item you are getting the rebate for.
take a picture/scan your rebate form with the UPC on it and then mail it all in.
should get your money. the picture is just for backup, as every once in awhile they say your form was filled out wrong and you can have proof that it wasnt. (sometimes their scanners dont pick up ink thats too light)

graphics card came about 4 days ago
psu came today


installed both into computer. the psu BARELY fit.


was my first time doing this and i was able to get everything hooked up and running in about 30 minutes. still yet to try playing cs cause ive been fixing all my normal settings, but everything seems to be working well.

thanks to all who helped :)



i think im going to need some help with the software though for optimizing settings and stuff. does anyone have experience with this?
