I'd not call this 'High end' as the CPU isn't a 'K' model, and it's not LGA2011. Nice air cooler in the CM Hyper212, 2x HD6970 in CFX mode is NOT to be trifled with.....though the x16 + x4 config may be a little bandwidth limited on the 2nd card. Great RAM, SSD and PSU.....I'd give yours a solid 8.5.

yes its considered a gaming rig , i'd rate it at 8.5/10. due to gpu being limited in x4 lane..

also my PC:
i5 2500K @ 4.30 Ghz
Corsair H100 liquid CPU cooler
Asus Directcu ii GTX 570
Seagate 1TB 7200 rpm HDD
8GB DDR3 Kingston Hyper-X Ram
Asus Z-68-V Gen 3 Motherboard
Asus Xonar DG 5.1 Soundcard
Corsair Carbide 400R Case
Corsair 650 HX PSU
DWA-556 D-Link Xtreme N pci adapter.

Gear:
Razer Abyssus 3500 DPI Mouse
Logitech G110 Keyboard
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
Razer Chimaera Wireless Gaming Headset

Monitor
23" LG IPS236 Monitor

OS:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

I am planning to buy an ssd, but 100$ for a 128gb ssd is way too much. maybe when it drops to 60/70$ or so i may consider it.

Just for laughs, I thought I'd post my rig and see if it got better than 1.5 or 2. Here goes:

CPU Intel Q6600 @ 2.4 ghz
Mobo Gigabyte P35-DS3L rev 2.0
RAM 6GB DDR2-800 dual channel
GPU EVGA 560 GTX "Superclocked" 1GB
PSU Rosewill 600w
Case no-name Lucite
Sound M-Audio Delta 410
Speaker Bose Multimate 2.1
DVD NEC ND-3550
Display Apple Cinema Display 22"
HD WD 640GB SATA2 7200 RPM

On a more serious note, any suggestions for upgrades, other than brand new CPU/MOBO/RAM?

5/10, i think your old core 2 quad is bottle necking your 560 somewhat. need to overclock it to 3.0 ghz +.

Believe me, I've tried. Problem is that temps at stock hit 60C - 65C under load. When I overclock it even modestly, say to 2.8Ghz, temps spike to 80C and keep on going up. Is that typical for the stock cooler?

I had a Q6600 SLACR (G0) chip and it OCs easily at default voltages. I had it @3ghz with a TRUE 120 (Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme) + 2x S-Flex fans for push/pull and it never went above 50C even after a long gaming session. Stock coolers are meant for stock speed, the moment you are thinking of pushing it higher, that's the moment you'd have to consider a good 3rd party cooler. CM Hyper 212 EVO is good, I have a Hyper 412Slim (replaced the crap slim push/pull fans for a Corsair SP Performance fan) and it never goes past 55C IIRC....haven't checked on temps for a while since it runs games and whatnot w/o issue.
