I will be back soon, In the process of new PC build

I am sorry for my absence but my graphics card died, I know bummer and I am not sure if the psu killed it or not.
It went black and stalled twice then on the last restart started and has since then has always been artifacting.
I have recenly been given some cash for xmas just gone so, I will be building myself a new PC tomorrow.:)
I am not to fussed about the graphics card I am using as it was a present from my dad and it will do just fine for my 17 inch monitor and freelancer (crossfire) mod.
I will be using a PNY Nvidia 9600GT OC 512mb GDDR3 and ooh did I mention I will have 8gb of vengance DDR3 ram.
Yeah baby yeah!
Not to get too exicted about the graphics card but it will do as, I will be upgrading it later on in the year.
'Edit-I already upgraded to a Asus GeForce GTX 550Ti 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express graphics card, lol.'
Obviously for this build I will need a better psu for all my other hardware included and I will be using a new motherboard.
Hence the spec requirement and changes but hehe, I am not telling you lot any more details.
You will all have to wait and see once I have built this sweet looking beast of a machine.
Trent won't know what hit him, lmao.:D><
But here is a teaser for you all, awesome air flow for the case, see through and neon blue lit.
I haven't done a new full build in ages, I am so eager to build this machine now.
The only things, I will be keeping from my old PC in my new build is the cpu, cpu cooler, sata hard drive and dvd-ram/dvd-rw/dvd-r/cd-rw/cd-r drive.
Unfortunaly I have to say goodbye to the world of DDR2 ram and ide hardware.
You will be sorely missed and I have had such fond and fun memories with this hardware.
But times change I suppose and once again, I am moving in line with the masses.
Upgrading my hardware to the latest spec hardware well more or less.;)

Annoyingly they were out of stock so I will have to go to another shop tomorrow.
But I have hit a bit of rough patch today and I am in no mood to build it just yet.
Its personal sorry I can't disclose anymore, lets just say it really knocked it out of me.
And my PC days hang in the balance if I can't get my head back together again.

Thanks, I just purchased Battlefield 3 today, I am installing it now.:)

I know, I played the beta and I also own the complete Battlefield 2 Collection and Battlefied Bad Company 2 for my current PC.:)
I am just waiting for the update to finish downloading to install.:)
I am a bit of a Battlefield nut and my favourite position/role in the game series is sniper/recon.:)
I also fixed my old Nvidia 880GTS 320bit 640mb GDDR3 card by stripping it down, cleaning all the thermal paste off it and doing the oven trick.
Letting it cool down and then reapplying the thermal paste and screwing it all back together.
And now it works and obviously I am using the latest card, I recently purchased.:)

I have just finished the Battlefield 3 campaign and it was awesome in my opinion minus the odd bugs here and there.
It did irritate me with there damn auto overclock feature in the game screwing with my cpu and gpu, but I found a way to overcome that.:)

The final release is better then the beta.:)

Sorry nope I don't own that game yet.

The lowest card that is able to run battlefield 3 is the Nvidia 8800gt or 8800gts but the graphics won't be great hence, I upgraded and Spiky with a good graphics card it will runs just fine.:)
