    Couple of upgrades since my last post.
    GTX 460SLI setup swapped for GTX 580 (one 460 was stepped up, the other given to my brother)
    Added a second Blademaster fan to my Hyper212+, bumped my overclock up to 4.7GHz
    Added a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 with two 500GB partitions... one for backing up my main drive (500GB WD Caviar Black), one for storing fraps files.


    Yes, the wires look messy, no they're not blocking any airflow.

    Oh they're being used, just not for everything. a) I'm lazy, and the insides of my case rarely get seen. b) function > form, so as long as the wires aren't blocking airflow, I'm good

    This was my first self built set up, and to be honest some parts I bought purely for aesthetic value and thus probably paid more than I should have. All things considered it was pretty easy to build, and I was extremely satisfied with the e-tailer I shopped with. I'm researching how to overclock now; hopefully I won't wreck anything in the process.

    Pictures
    I guess they'll come after I've posted a few more times
    I am basically getting this exact same build. How is the motherboard? How does this Motherboard compare with the Gigabyte GA-P67 UD7? Will a Noctua DH-14 fit in this mobo?

    Righty-oh!

    Here's my gaming setup! I'll just copy paste from what I wrote at Xfire.

    Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor @ ~3.8GHz

    Memory: 8192MB RAM

    Hard Drive: 1,5 TB Total

    Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6850 OC 875Mhz/1200Mhz

    Monitor: LG Flatron L204WS

    Speakers/Headphones: SteelSeries Siberia v2 Limited Blue Edition

    Keyboard: Logitech G15

    Mouse: Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

    Mouse Surface: Icemat

    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.101026-1503)


    And of course some picture of my place! The pictures are a few months old I think so I've re-arranged a bit, however, it pretty much looks the same overall.

    It depends on the surface. I have a black Icemat that've had for a while, and while stuff tends to deposit on it(oils in my hand, other things) that I need to clean off regularly, it performs better than just using my desktop.

    Just saying, it's annoying to have to open new tabs when he could've just typed out "i5 2500k" and "gtx560 frozr" etc. The aim is to be able to check the the build specs at a glance.
