Default What's new?

So as the topic says, what's new with everyone?

As for me, in the long time since I've been an active poster, I got a job at a local dollar store, and I've managed to keep the position for 2 1/2 years. Currently, they're look at the possibility of making me an Assistant Manager.

Finally got my first officially road-worthy car, a red '04 Dodge Neon, which runs much better than it's age would suggest.

Shortly after getting the car I was hired on at a storage facility/truck rental depot. So I have two jobs now, though this one pays better and is much less stressful.

My sister got married.

I bought a laptop, finally, nothing major, just a general use machine.

and finally, I'm at the tail end of building a halfway decent gaming rig.

-Cooler Master Storm Trooper case Black, but with the windowed side panel
-AMD FX-8350 processor
-Corsair H60 liquid cooling unit
-MSI 970A-G46 motherboard
-Team Dark Series 16GBs RAM (2x8GB) DDR3 1600
-Ultra LSP Series V2 750watt PSU
-EVGA super-clocked Geforce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 (still waiting on the delivery for this one)
-Windows 7 Home OS
-2 TB Seagate Barracuda
-PCIe USB 3.0 hub card so I can actually make use of the 3.0 ports on the front of my case. (Didn't think to make sure the motherboard actually had a 3.0 header before buying it)
-and an internal wifi adapter by TP-link

I put all the parts through pcpartpicker.com, and the only potential conflict was between the motherboard and CPU, but my friend is running an identical motherboard CPU setup with no issues.

That, more or less, brings me up to present, so what's new with you?
