    New Computer Time!

    It's been over three years since my last build (C2D, 8800GTS), so how does this look?

    AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 125W
    GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5
    8gb G.SKILL DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
    ATI Radeon 5770
    COOLER MASTER CM690 II Advanced Case
    Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W

    I'm also thinking about a small SSD (60-80gb) for the OS and a large HD for files and storage.

    Thoughts?

    DRAGON AGE

    Still loving the fuck out of this game though I swear it's gonna be a gateway drug back into WoW. I'm rolling the whole time with a tank, rogue and two mages including me, both with heals. We're pretty fucking unstoppable but it feels like my rogue is underperforming. She's a bit of a hybrid right now but I'm going to finish a few archery trees as a priority now (level 12 currently). Worth doing? Means my tank can just soak up anything with two healers then 3 ranged DPS can chew face. Hell, it's even fun to sling a firewall at the tank sometimes for AOE hilarity. Arrows are CRAZY expensive though, is there a cheaper way to get them or is it all drops and hella gold?

    XBMC Live USB
    So i've followed many tutorials and i've created about 5 bootable usb keys with XBMC live for my asus p4p800 + nvidia gt6600 based mediacenter.
    I select boot from Jetflash (brand of usb key i guess) and I get a single beep, and screen goes blank. Usb key indicated being read. This stays like that for about 5-6 minutes, then the usb key is no longer read but the screen stays blank.
    Mind you that my media center is attached via HDMI on my epson emp tw700 beamer so that might be an issue.

    My friend's Macbook has a broken "y" key. For a year or so he's gotten by with cut and pasting a y whenever he needs to, but this causes problems when he's cut and pasting other things, and then suddenly needs a y. I don't know shit about Macs, but surely there's a way to remap one of the lesser used keys (like |, for example) into a y? Halp?

    So is it safe to say the guitar hero/rock band franchises have pretty much run their course now?
