I think I'll go with the GeForce GTS 250. Anyone object to that?

Annnd I guess I need to get this dvi to hdmi converter. Sounds good to me.

I hear it can have a loud fan. Other than that, looks solid.

Hmm I can't seem to find any info on it being loud on google. Where do you hear that from?

Someone irl complained it has a noisy fan. I guess its a rare occurance, and you should be fine with it.

The parts came in. I assembled it in dim light. I have already stumped my toe on it. It works but the screen hasn't arrived yet!

Thanks for helping.

EDIT: I keep reading everywhere that in order for dual channel ram to work it has to be inserted into the blue slots. But my mother board manual made it seem like the white slots where the correct ones. Now I'm paranoid I'm not using my ram to it's full potential.
