AMD GALLARDO: Black Edition
With technology rising faster than ever these days, and also thanks to price drops I've decided to do a little updating myself from my old AMD socket A rig to more current generation products. I'll be using this thread to document the build for anyone interested in setting up PC's. So without further ado, I present my new budget Gamer rig...AMD Gallardo: Black edition. As for the name, It's simply about speeeeedddd. Anyway, Here are is a list of parts I got for the build.
