Parts for my new rig just arrived yesterday afternoon Im still building but its just about done. The difference in gaming (ive only tried res evil 5 so far) is insane, hitting 227FPS and I never went above 130 on the old one. Heres some pics from it. I ended up having to go with a Gigabyte board since they didnt have any Asus Rampage boards left. And they screwed up and only sent me 4GB of RAM instead of 8, hopefully my other 4GB will be here by the weekend. I cant wait to see how it does on video editing and encoding

It rocks I got more than twice the performance on Res Evil 5 DX10. With my old Athlon 2 x4 and 5670 I would get just over 60FPS on DX10 max settings this one I got an Avg of 134FPS on DX10 max settings

I priced out a tower with pretty much the same specs made by HP, of course the parts are crap, stock heat sinks etc. And it was 600 bucks more I almost bought it cause Im impatient and didnt want to wait but glad I made the smart choice. Im kinda choked at the performance of these hybrid SATA-SSD drives, almost no noticeable difference except my PC boots up in under 7 seconds according to Reg Mechanic. But this could be because Im running EFI not BIOS and an EMS enabled boot image. Saved 249 bucks and just used my old OEM disc for Win7. Its amazing I thought for sure I was gonna have to use a SLIC loader, but tried phone in activation at the serial window and the lady gave me a new number no problem. And she knew full well it was an OEM not tied to my new HDD, MOBO or CPU.
