Wow! Imagine my surprise to find this forum on builds on the Kerbal site! I have just torn apart... no thats a lie, I tore it apart a year ago! Anyways, it's my gaming rig. It was an AMD machine with an X2 core, but it would not play the "latest" games. So I did my research and picked a list of components that HAD to be swapped, and a list of parts I could keep from the old build to keep costs down. What I went with: New parts: Sabertooth 990FX Rev2 motherboard AMD FX 8750 CPU (Black Edition) Corsair Dominator Platinum 16Gb DDR3 Used parts saved from prior build: XFX Radeon HD5750 30yo Old Game case - No brand, but it has a nice layout, smooth wiring, and 4lg-6sm slots 4 60mm fans Audigy 2 ZS Platinumsound card OCZ GSX850 PSU Maxtor Diamond Max and WD Blue HD Generic DVDR so I got it all together and powered it up. When I powered it up fans spun for just a split second and then beep! I plan to check the connections first, but any one of you might be a better builder and already know whats wrong! This was only my second build in 7 years and I'm being real ambitious trying to pull off a nice rig. I kinda rushed the assembly and might have missed something.
