My New Rig

I just decided to splash out on this one. Budgeted high end so I dont have to upgrade for a while.

yep, things have slowed quite a bit for computers. used to be it was old before you got it home but now it lasts about a year before the new stuff is really that much better.

my guess is your fine for the next 5-7 years at least (maybe 10) before you even need to think about upgrading anything

Here's what I've used in my first homegrown rig.
Corsair 800D Obsidian case
XFX 750W Black Edition PSU
ASUS Rampage III Extreme Mobo
i7 - 930 CPU OC'd to 3.6 Ghz
EVGA GTX470 Graphics Card
12Gs (6 x 2Gb) Ocz DDR3 Gold Series DRAM (Can't remember the speed rating but it works)
2 - 1Tb Black Caviar Drives set up in Raid
1 - 850 Gb Seagate Drive-Storage
1- 650 Gb WD Drive-Storage
LG BD Rewriter
And water cooling system made up of DangerDen and Swiftech parts off the shelf.
Windows 7 Home Premium
I actually started to upgrade my HP that I bought last year and I just kept buying more stuff every week until it turned into a different computer. I wanted to go with the new i7 processor which meant a new MOBO, and that didn't fit the case I had. Then I had all these empty memory slots to fill, and the dinky graphics card I had didn't look good thru the window, then I found that my PSU wasn't big enough. Then all this stuff started getting hot when I found the overclockers website... And I went right by a Microcenter on the way home everyday... All's that I have left is the HP2408 monitor from the original computer. I already have a list of stuff I want to add and change to this one. It's turned into an addiction!
