Finally everything works

As you know I have bought new Intel Core i7 system. The first blog item about it was more than a month ago. However, the purchase didn't go very smoothly. System didn't boot and we found the reason only several days before the Christmas. It was a memory fault which hadn't been compatible with the motherboard. However, after I assembled the system with new RAM, it appeared that my PSUs are not enough for this system. My video card showed artifacts after several minutes. Because of this, until now I have used PCI video card which slowed down performance. I bought a new 600W PSU only yesterday. Everything went ok and finally I have my new computer in full configuration:
Intel Core i7 920
Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4
3GB(KVR1066D3E7+KVR1066D3N7K2/2G) DDR3 1066 MHz Kingston RAM (triple channel)
MSI R4830-T2D512-OC graphics card (Radeon 4830 512 MB)
FORTRON EPSILON 600W (80PLUS) PSU
Codegen M601-CA ATX case.

HDDs and DVD-RW are from my earlier mini-itx system.
