obviously you must have a good cooler as well. as the stock fan is pretty terrible for overclocking.

Like that case, nearly bought one for my rig (the Li i wanted hit a sale), so 8.2/10.

Hazzah, just today finished my fairly uber rig a few weeks sooner than anticipated. Just in time for Black Mesa.

CPU Intel i7 3820 (evo 212 cooler w/ push & pull, as5)
MB Asus P9X79 Standard
RAM 32GB gskill 8-8-8-24
GPU 2*6950 both unlocked to 6970
PSU 1000w Xion
SSD 2*256GB Adata raid 0
HDD 2*1TB raid 0

Lian Li PC100 (the backwards case.. love this thing)
Tek Republic mouse, Logisys white backlit keyboard

I know WEI is largely useless, but still feels fun. 7.9 all but cpu (7.7). I'll try overclocking at some point.

11498 32bit tryout for Geekbench (my old c2q was only 5k-ish iirc)

*edit*

I should have done this upgrade sooner. Converting my DVD library to Plex (kids w/ their messy fingers) via Handbrake.. 500 avg fps vs 115 avg fps for my old c2q 9550.

*pleased*

My new rig:

-Antec Sonata case
-Antec Earthwatt 630W PSU
-eVGA Z68 SLI motherboard
-eVGA GTX560 GPU
-Intel i5-2550k
-Intel Patriot Extreme Masters 8GB RAM
-Intel 330 Series 60GB SSD + Seagate 1TB

Total cost: $800CAD

Not overclocked at the moment but definitely a possibility for the future.

Three way 680 SLI? Blimey. I can't see a reason not to give your machine a 10/10, so there... 10/10

4/10 I can't imagine running an x64 system with 2GB ram.


Mine is...

Very nice. I'd give it a 9.25/10.

It may even be higher, I've marked others higher as they included peripherals, sound cards, loop details, monitor(s)...etc Also, is the CPU watercooled too?

You asked for it

watercooling things
Cooling:

2 x XSPC RX480 radiators with a total of 8 Phobya 120 mm fans in the bottom of the chassis.
1 st Phobya 140mm fan exhaust in the bottom, and a 96 mm Fractal which also sucks out the bottom of the chassis, the other takes in air from outside.

GPU'2 is cooled by the full cover of full cover Hetakiller maxes out around 42 degrees Celsius
. CPU cooled by EK Supreme HF maximizing maximum of about 55 degrees Celsius

Running a dualbay XSPC res dual loops, which each loop is driven by a Laing DDC 12VDDC-1T Plus.

One loop for the GPU and the CPU
