Not even all the parts and I'm to almost 500 bucks

No problem, I hope it gets there soon for ya. Gotta love the USPS, but UPS is too expensive.

It arrived today!! That card is beautiful! I'm going to swap the PS you gave me with one in one of my computers. The computer that has a micro board.

Thanks a bunch Tom!

Question about the Phantom. It has 3 pin connectors and a molex. Does the molex handle all 3 fans or do I need to plug in those 3 pins to the motherboard. The problem with the 3 pins is they are male and the ones on the mb are male as well. So I would need to convert them to female some way.

Addendum: Figured it out. My brain was fried last night.

Phantom is a beautiful case. the case has an onboard fan controller, one slider for each set of fans. from rear to front of cas they are: rear, top, LD side, side HDD and front HDD. the side HDD and front HDD have the option for two fans, two connectors for this on the controller, along with the top. I got my phantom used from Rich so it had all the fans hooked up, but you wont need to populate any of the 3-pin connecters on your board to hookup the fans, nor will you need a Molex 4-pin from your supply.

460 GT is a good card for AH.

Gee Getback, you sure do enjoy your computers. That makes how many in the last 3 years? For me, only 1.

The last one I built for myself was in early 2008. I built one for my mom and my daughter. They paid for the parts. I was broke broke broke!

But yes I really enjoy the build. Always some issues but darn it is one of the funnest things. Then I get to laugh at myself for stupid mistakes and curse the parts after spending hours trying to get a part to work that is bad from the get go.
