YES!! my new PC is working!

got windows installed, only took 72 updates

got a heat issue (cpu is running at 43 degrees which is too hot for my liking) but i think i can sort that easy enough

final specs

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4GHz) CPU
Asus P5B deluxe wifi motherboard
1GB DDR2 RAM (2x512MB sticks in matched pair setting)
Nvidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB
250GB SATA Hardrive
19" LCD screen
and the other bits you need for a PC (DVD and stuff) mobo sound and network

just installing warcraft now to make sure stuff works like it should - then i'm gonna give neverwinter nights 2 a go - my machine is just slightly above the recomended specs so i think i may be ok
