That looks really nice Asera! ^^
OT:
Might add for the sake of the topic that I have started a new project for a friend. He isn't exactly a gamer, but he and I have some pretty neat ideas for a budget computer that will work as a sound system and a home theater. Not sure what I will actually end up doing with the budget he gave me though, but it should be fun.

Omg Asera... please send me one or two of those.... that is gorgeous. D:
We should totally get a special graphic designed for the computer forums specifically. That would be sweeeeet.

So what IS the budget? ;p
You mean like our own flag? Haha, sure. But it would probably have to be "unofficial". Have any ideas?
He hasn't decided yet actually. He is planning to buy 2 monitors, a pretty hefty 2.1 sound system, a new headset and a new computer. I'm pretty sure he is leaning towards a new desk as well. Basically that is what he has told me so far, and that the budget will be around $1500-3000 depending on how much he can work the upcoming month.
Something with the normal mmo-champion logo but with "Computer Forum Gurus" or something under it. ^_^
@second part: Have him get a 2.1 set from this line...

He'll need to up that budget though. Buttttt it'll sound bloody amazing..... and make Bose surround sound systems sound bad.

You built it 2 weeks ago? I'm sorry to say but unless you're doing some very specific things with your PC, you more or less wasted your money on old out-dated hardware. I would have suggested the i7-2600K over that if you really needed the hyper-threading. The 2500K would still beat that CPU as well.

Edit: I probably like the 2nd best. Could add the MMO-C logo down at the bottom right corner. The background = "placeholder".

This is the setup I just ordered I was going for the i7 2600k cpu but the price difference were to much for me
Asus P8P67 WS Revolution B3
Intel Core i5 2500K 3,3GHz
Corsair 8GB (2x4096MB) CL8 1600Mhz VENGEANCE
Corsair SSD Force GT 120GB
2xMSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2048MB OC TWIN FROZR II
Fractal Design Define R3 USB 3.0, Black
Corsair TX 850W V2 80+ Bronze
Looks good to me. You did a wise choice not going for the 2600k; it performs the same in games compared to the 2500k. But heck, that 850W PSU is wasted in that setup unless you plan to go 3-way SLI <insert card with 3-way SLI capabilities here> in the future. How are you liking that case btw?

Haven't got the stuff since I ordered it yesterday, but heard from a friend that 560ti sli takes about 750w and since I want space for some more stuff I'd go with some more then needed for future but my friend also used that case and apparantly it's a really nice case
I really won't dwell more into this. It really isn't on-topic either... but here are my "finals":
