XFX 6970 (getting a second shortly)
8gigs DDR3 1600 RAM

Anyone else buy themselves a lil somthin somthin?

[Chino]

I bought myself a Novac 3S ballistic 10.5T brushless system 

[Bacong]

nice.

also, didn't know chino played around with rc cars.

[BlobVanDam]

Pretty good specs, although only 1Tb of storage?
Aside from that, very nice. Are you going to be overclocking the CPU? That's why most people get the K over the regular one (or have I got that the wrong way around. I don't think I do).

I will be doing some Overclocking. just experimenting and what not. which is why i got the H80 cooler. has amazing temps! And yes 1TB.  xD
A. HDD prices are still through the roof
B. i dont actually save much stuff LOL

SSDs are so awesome. I'm still bitter about mine crapping out on me.

[Scrub206]

[Chino]

Awww yeah. My Novac Havoc 17.5T shit the bed. I don't race anymore and no longer have to follow rules, so I figured why not get something with balls.

Got an i5-2500k for myself,  and the younger brother of your MB.  Most of what I have now is recycled from my older computer, so it was just CPU/MOBO and DDR3. 

I have a hard time keeping room on a 500gb system drive,  so buying a SSD is probably not worth it.  I might eventually buy an MSata and take advantage of HDD caching.

That actually looks awesome  ive always wanted like a gas powered RC car. a few of my friends had them and they just look like a lot of fun!

my girlfriend has the i5-2500. its a great CPU, quick as hell. i just decided to go big and play around a lot with it. ive just been moving stuff over and installing and setting up and organizing. so havent had much time to play xD.

my new pc:

[El Barto]

The i5 is by far the best price/power point right now.  I'm a big AMD fan,  but this destroys anything they have out right now,  and cost me far less than most of their entry level processors.  By getting it on Black Friday with a bundle discount,  it set me back $80. 

That thing will rip a 22gb blu-ray 3D movie to MKV in about 45 minutes,  and leave enough headroom to still use my computer for other things.  And this is using XP.  I'm only getting neutered performance do to my disinterest in W7.

How fast are you running the I7 with that cooling block?

[Bacong]

nice cabling

[antigoon]

That is a sexy-ass case.

My dude that's a nice rig congratulations!  I've been thinking about upgrading my pc myself and doing my first "build" so to speak.  Mind if I PM you about it, I could definitely use some guidance.

[Sigz]

Sweet jesus that is a sexy computer.

[TempusVox]

I always buy myself a little somethin, somethin for Christmas each year too. This year I bought an LMT Defender 2000. Mrs. Vox as demonstrated, can use it too! 

[7StringedBeast]

Nice.  You got any others?

I was a huge AMD fanboi till the flop that is Bulldozer. it was a shame im hoping they have better luck with Microsofts hot fix.

currently its stock. i havent gotten a chance to play around with any OCing yet. with the H80 people say they got it stable at 5Ghz. im probs going to get it to 4.5-4.7 and leave it.

I LOVE cable management hahaha after seeing pictures of it. i can see where i need to manage better lolol

*snip*

ive always wanted to shoot a gun! the only gun ive ever shot was my old Spyder TL Plus paintball gun! haha that was fun! oh and a few BB guns

[AcidLameLTE]

HOLY SHIT. The cable management in this case!

I also love my SSD. Everything is so responsive.

[BlobVanDam]

Much nicer than my (lack of) cable management. Heck, mine is so bad that I've never been able to fit on either side panel. Ever.
