I wish I could afford a better rig, mine suits me but it's not very nice D:

Just ordered my 7950Should arrive in a few days with any luck, very excited :)
Thanx,yeah it's allot bigger then my old one, but now I can easily fit the assasin 2 in there...once I get one (And they remove the toy gun off it). And the watercooling parts will arive in March, so then I can finally complete it.
Hehe, 1. Those are screws from the old chassis', hardrive cages and mb.Didn't need them on the the new chassis.
2.It's cheaper that wayAnd the other sides are bolted with gigantic screws into the wall.
3. Thank you.
4. Yup, I had to remove the tree,because it started dying in the great shadow of my chassis...
Thank you.
The watercooling will be black and white, so I hope the theme plan I have for it will look as good as I hope.
"Fistbump" Yeah it's a Zalman cooler,that fits any 4ram slots, On this ram it clips onto the Vengance memory it'self instead of those white clips that hold the ram down ,and works verry well,and leaves a few mm gap between the fans and the memmory,but enough not to be a bother. It also comes with a voltage controller. You can get them in blue or silver. :::: Zalman, leading the world of Quiet Computing Solutions :::
I have a new 1155 rig worked out (upgrade mobo when ib comes out), hopefully I'll have it soon and can post some nice pictures of the build and some overclocks :)
Just be aware, I believe there may be compatibility issues with sandy bridge vs ivy bridge motherboards, because ivy bridge will have a new chipset in order to utilize things like pci 3.0 for the cpu.
I have heard that it increases the bandwidth of all slots, meaning say I have my 7950 with 2.0, I would get x fps, with a pci 3.0 board, I could get x+20 fps on something like bad company 2. So from what I have heard it is substancial, however I think it is mainly for crossfire/sli, allowing both cards to run at 16x rather than 8x. However currently, I also believe 3.0 boards are a gimmick, intel processors at least (i dont know about amd), cant utilize pci 3.0.
