Home Built Computers

Stealing some mojo from another thread, I was curious as to who here has built theiir own computer? If you do, would you mind sharing what hardware/software you're using and what you primarily use the computer for (gaming, home office, etc)?

Also, links would be greatly appreciated to the hardware parts, but if you're too lazy, it's all good. I'm going to start building my own system, and I'm looking for some advice.

Thanks in advance.

Does your motherboard not support more than 2GB Ram? They are dirt cheap these days.

I really really appreciate having a Microcenter withing easy driving distance. But dammit, they rarely have the exact parts that I'm looking for.

I always build my own computers and always have (except for laptops). You get what you pay for and quality components is a better PC.

I've been building PCs since 1994. My mobo just fried, so I rebuilt part of my computer. I'm holding off on upgrading the vid card until closer to the release of BF3...

Intel i5 2500-k quad core 3.30 GHz
MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard
EVGA nVidia 9800GTX
8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600
Ultra 750W PSU
random HDs and optical drives
Windows 7

I plan to upgrade the vid card in the fall, and I'd like to get an SSD at some point.

ATI has had better video chipsets than NVidia for a while now, and I'll have words with anyone who says otherwise....
