so it's true. You are a spoiled brat JK!
Nice computer and laptop lol

Windows Vista Ultimate is the best OS you can get right now sir.

If you are saying Vista sucks, I have to sadly disagree. If you have read reviews (or reviewed it yourself) you most likely compared XP to Windows Vista Home Basic.
Home Basic is pretty much garbage.

Vista Ultimate on the other hand is FAR from bad.
Ask anybody, Vista Ultimate > anything.

Seriously? I work my ass off for everything I have. (And not at Burger King -.-)

oh lord lol
ok mister if you want to put it that way. I am totally new to this country and even though I have experience with other more qualified jobs a lot of companies here don't seem to want to hire people who have worked in Canada so I pretty much had to start from the bottom. Life is not easy at least for a "new guy" it's just like in this forum where people distrust and accuse new members of being multi. I won't even bother to explain to you why I chose to start a new life because you have a very simplistic view on life and see everything in black and white but I am sure you will become a lot wiser once you have moved out of your parents house and start to live on your own...
here is a very good quote for ya

LOL. I'm 15, I'm totally new to everything as well.
Don't say shit about me being spoiled because you don't know fuck about me.

lol whatever. It seems someone had a bad day or something. Just read my post again... I like to tease people but i guess some people are just too damn serious and boring and get offended very easily.




EDIT: well I guess I owe you an apology, sir. Btw you are not the only 15 yr old who is working hard...
There is nothing wrong to be spoiled when you are 15. I just wish my parents would spoil me back when I was at your age instead of using me as a cheap labor.

I don't find it funny when you call somebody who works harder than almost any other 15 year old is a "joke"

If you don't want something like that to be taken seriously don't say it.

Not bad, not sure about your choice of CPU and GPU though, the old phenom's aren't really worth jack, and you'd have been better served spending a bit more on your card and getting a 4850.
As it stands I'm not too sure your cad will be able to help much with CS4 and the CPU, even if it is a black edition one won't overclock much because the old phenoms run hot and use a lot of power.

In February I'm getting a much better heat sink.
Processor runs only about 35* right now.
I can OC a lot.

AND, just so it's clear here I built this just to get it up and running better than my old computer from Futurshop.
I haven't tested much so far, but from some games I've played already I've noticed about a 20 fps increase on max settings
AND Photoshop CS3 opens in literally 2-3 seconds (I timed it) which is a HUGE improvement from the minute++ on my old PC.

And the Graphics Card is DEFINATELY not the one I'm staying with LOL!
It's just there so it can run.
I have always used Nvidia (Heck, my Motherboard is made by Nvidia) and I have a bunch of green cathodes that were meant to go with my Nvidia lol!
I'll most likely be getting a Nvidia 8800 GT or the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285.

People haven't had much success OC'ing Phenom's though, just have a look through some reviews of the CPU and you'll see that, it's definitely not as overclockable as a C2D, C2Q or Phenom2 chip. Should still be able to get something out of it, but not as much as you might be hoping for.

the 8800GT is good, pretty sure the ati 4850 is better, haven't seen any reviews for the 285 but not sure how well that'd compare to the 4870x2, specially in terms of price/performance, it might be worth looking at pro cards if you're thinking of spending that sort of money on a GPU, you'll certainly see benefits if you ever upgrade to CS4.
