That's an amazingly great build. One question though, do you not have an SSD? It seems like it would be a very important item for a rig like that! Awesome system though, and in 2-3 years that processor will still look good and you could add in another 7970 for great Xfire performance.

Yeah MaN, u definitely need a SSD for that Monster

I ll buy a 7970 in a few days too.

Right now:
Sandy i5 @ 4,4 GHz
4 Gig 1333MHz Ram @cl7
ASUS CU2 6950@6970
plus my new Baby, my Samsung SSD 830 512 GB

Amazing rig, just need more time to play on it ! The blue screen was me playing around trying to get the CPU up to 4.6Ghz, couldnt get it stable.. So like you i dropped it down to 4.4Ghz.

ssd are good for fast loading but the games i play online id be sat waiting for everyone to load up lol. the one i got is quick enough and 1tb is needed for stuff like guildwars 2 ect. we all know they pack on size after they come out.

Nice computer man, I don't like the X79 platform though.
X79 was mostly intended to be used for workstations, quite expensive for everyday use but excellent if you're into folding@home.

Anyhow here's mine, was built over a year ago but swapped out the video card.

I got my RAID-0 SSD's purely for fraps, gives much faster write speeds also so gets rid of that bottle neck. I'm frapsing at about 50 FPS now .

I am very jealous but envious as well of both of your new rigs. Still saving up for my mid-grade pc build lol. I can't imagine how amazing PS2 must run on both of your machines..
