new mobo / cpu / memory

Again 2600k CPU ruling the roost!

That's true. I had to OC my 2500K to 4.6 to get a 7.6.

Anybody got any tips on talking the Mrs round when you want new hardware and there is nothing wrong with what you already have installed? It seems like I am cursed to never finish this 3D setup....I just saw a lovely GTX 580 1.5GB for £399.99. I am sure it would not be obsolete for many years, would completely out perform my current hardware and allow me to have full 3D gaming. Would ebay the current graphics cards to get the GeForce 3D glasses.

Yeah just tell her that by buying the G card you are keeping all the starving children working.
They always fall for that one.

Have you seen this missing person?

That will probably work as well as when I was a kid and didn't want to eat my vegetables, my Mother used to say think of all the starving kids in China. I told her she could give them my vegetables.

This on my Asus G73JH notebook.

Ignore the 5400rpm spinner will you

I have OS X and a data partition on my 500GB 7200 at the moment (don't hate me, I'm just experimenting).

The 720QM is at stock, the 5870m is OC'd from 700/1000 to 840/1100. I have to say I was hoping for a 7.4, but I'll see how much further it can be pushed.

RAM is a mixture of 2x4GB KHX 1600 and just 2x2GB Kingston...standard RAM 1333. Mobo only supports up to 1333 though, and I believe the KHX is CL7 at those speeds...the standard RAM is CL9 though which probably holds it back, idk. I need to get around to putting in the other 2x4GB KHX SODIMMs but I need to take it apart to access the 4th slot...and it's scary

Note: can somebody buy me an SSD? Please?
