Slightly revised items with the build! Not completely sure on the motherboard, but I'm tired of looking and reading reviews haha


Motherboard

Power Supply

SSD

I've been regularly seeing some SSD specials on Newegg. Just keep an eye on those prices & pick the best one when the time comes, assuming it has a good rep.

Windows took a whole 10 minutes to install, by then I was clicking around my desktop. Booted in under 10 seconds, new record, woo! Tomorrow... I rock the games. Oh, yeah.

Congrats Drunk!

yeah, those new ssd's really do cut down boot time. Hope you're enjoying the new rig.

I'm currently enjoying a very heavily modded skyrim (using the STEP guide) with my twin 6970's.

Speaking of Skyrim i just haven't been able to get myself to get it. I've heard great and some not so great things.

Yeah Skyrim was fun for me for a while but quickly got boring. 50 hours and I haven't really wanted to go back quite yet.

BTW, this thing pushes BF3 at ultra flawlessly. First day on the new rig I got nearly 100 knife kills Gonna benchmark it soon

Now all you need is some 3d vision. Make your BF3 look even more sickly and dopely depth

Lol 50 hours & it "quickly" got boring? 50 hours is pretty damn good for a single player game, especially considering you can probably get another 100 hours or more out of it if you really tried.
