Congrats!!!!!

Thanks.
Now it has an SSD and 12GB of RAM.
I went back to the shop that built it and I was able to get 8GB of Corsair RAM for a great price.

Nothing like a new computer to bring a little joy in your life.
Happy computing.

I'd keep an eye on what Intel has to offer. AMD hasn't really offered that great of a processor since the AMD Athlon 64 X2 days. Sure, they have 8 core CPU's way cheaper than 8 core Intels. But in many cases, 4 core Intel's outperform 8 core AMD's for about the same price. The # of cores isn't the be-all end-all.

I would have to change the mother board to make use of an Intel chip and that's not my plan.
Thanks for the information.
