Ordered.......

Had convinced myself the other day gaming didnt interest me.   Sigh!!
Bastid. Well jelly! As for gaming, as said, it comes in waves. The ARMA3 beta is picking my fancy, though!

Yeah, considering I play at 1680X1050 that card should be a stonker!!!  I know the 8320 is Overkill for gaming, but Criostoir might be doing rendering etc as part of his course and it s a great chip for that.

Well assuming PSU.  Was on machine last night and it instantly powered down, no blue screens, or errors etc.

Changed out kettle lead and when I powered on it started for a split second and then off again, unplugging the lead and plugging back in will do the same again.  Have an RMA from OC for the PSU, but should I consider the Mobo before sending back?

I'll try another PSU asap.
