Default My First Build is complete!

hey every1!

well acouple months ago i posted saying i wanted to start my first build and i got some help with it! (thanks to the guys for the suggestiong!) and finaly after alot of saving and everything i got all the parts and put it 2gether yesterday! and its amazing! heres the specs:

case: Antec 900
Mobo: xfx 680i LT SLI
CPU: Intel C2Q Q6600
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
RAM: Ocz 4GB (2x2GB)
Hard Drives:
1x 500GB
2x 160GB
GPU: Evga 8800GT
PSU: Ultra X2 750Watt
os/s: xp pro 32bit (gonna upgrade to 64bit next time i have to reinstall) and vista 32bit (again going to install 64bit as soon as i figure out how to boot to it)

and my old system was this:
Emachines T3508
CPU: Intel celeron D 3.33ghz (single core :( )
RAM: 1.5GB (but 128mb shared video mamory so only 1.3gb free)
GPU: onboard 128mb shared

yea it suckd! heres some pics of my new setup:
http://rapidshare.com/files/102390572/NEW_PC.rar

for those who dont wanna download them, its basicly acouple pics of the hardware and some screne shots from 3dmax 06.

3d max 06 scores:
old pc: 153
New PC: 12,239!!!

amazing jump!

the diffrence from a single core with 1.3gb of ram to a quad core with 4gb of ram (can only use 2.7gb in 32bit xp) is amazing!

i installd some games last night and heres what i got so far:

Farcry: Completly maxd out, 1400x1500 i got 110-120fps!
Crysis demo: everything set to high and 2xaa 30-40fps (very playable)

i also installd enemy territorys quake wars (came with gpu) but havnt had a chance to play it yet, also i have call of duty 4 but havnt installd it yet. but if i get 30fps on crysis on high im guessing i can eather max out cod or atleast get something amazing!

*note all games were installd on xp because im having probalems booting into vista.

ok sry bout that! i can asure u theres nothing but pics in the file! i hate when people put viruses in them! but i will upload to a hosting site! the only reason i put them in a rar is because theres some big ones (1400x1050) and somepeople with slow connections dont like that!
