Started building a new computer, first one I’ve built since sometime in the mid to early 90s.

I think that makes me a noob again. I’ve been holding off on getting a new computer until closer towards the end of the year when the new SSDs were supposed to come out but Frys had an awesome deal on a processor/motherboard combo. I basically got the motherboard for free so I jumped on it and almost $800 later, my computer is almost done.

I booted it up for the first time yesterday, recognized everything, just need to install an OS and I should be good to go. I still need to redo the cabling, I’m awful at that kind of stuff but the case makes it pretty easy.

Stuff I got.

• Antec P183
• Core i5-750
• Gigabyte P55a-UD3
• 4GB ram
• Intel 80GB SSD

I already had a video card and power supply that I transferred over from my old machine. New machine should be blazing fast. It’ll be a good upgrade, old machine was about 4.5 years old already.
