I recently upgraded my computer build, replacing the graphics card, CPU, CPU cooler, RAM, and motherboard (rig details at the bottom of the post). The goal is to be able to hit some high graphics settings in AAA games going forward. So far, it’s working very well, though I haven’t stretched it yet really.

The Asus motherboard has a built-in utility for overclocking, but I’m scared of taking the plunge – I’ll do some more reading before risking exploding my shiny new computer parts. Here’s a build album for your delectation and amusement.
