Success!!! First build working great! Now I need to stress test..

Hey everyone!

I had posted here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] uggestions And everything turned out well! It all went together fairly smoothly and all is well so far! Had to fight the mass of PSU cables into place. The motherboard recognized the CPU and everything else instantly. I had removed all the heatsinks on the mobo and scrubbed off the crummy thermal compound that Gigabyte had put. Then I applied some Arctic Silver 5 thermal grease to it and replaced them. I also rubbed off the compound on the CPU cooler and used Arctic Silver on it as well. I removed the cooler off the HD 4850 and removed the previous compound off of it and put Arctic Silver on it too. All the thermal grease stuff that Gigabyte had on it was all hard and crusty. Everything else plugged right in and worked. I'm typing this on the computer now. I also invested into an HP w2007 monitor $280 (20'' 1680x1050). But It's worth getting a nice screen.

Here is the final build:

CPU- Core 2 E7200- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115052

Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -EP45-UD3R

Ram- Mushkin 2GB (2x1GB)- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820146118

Hard Drive- Western Digital 640Gig- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136218

Optical Drive- Asus- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6827135156

PSU- Antec 650W- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817371015

I haven't really tested the components yet though. I intend on running a CPU and Ram stress test overnight tonight. What are the best burn in stress test tools?

I think I'll install Oblivion this afternoon and see how well it plays

Thanks!
