About 3 weeks ago I decided to build myself a new system. Now while my old system was in decent shape, it had begun to show its age, and so I went ahead and picked up one of those new Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs (an i5 3570K to be exact) to plug into my MSI G45-Z77 motherboard, along with 8 GBs of DDR3 1600 RAM....

  When it comes to making a video game it can be argued that the music of a game is the most important part.
