Here's a few pics of it: P1040501.jpgP1040515.JPGP1040522.JPGP1040523.JPGP1040542.JPG

I absolutely love it and it plays pretty much every game I've tried it with on ultra settings no problem :) But the power hungry beast inside me wants more so I'm already planning out my next build. Eventually I want to change to an Asus ROG Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard, i7 3960x CPU, Corsair H100i Extreme Liquid cpu cooler, 3-way SLI EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB or 2 way GTX 680 4gb , EVGA Supernova nex 1500W, Asus ROG Xonar Phoebus and a Blackwidow 2013 Ultimate Stealth plus any other little upgrades I think of on the way. I'm hopping it'll all fit in my HAF X case because I love it to bits! One of my favourite PC cases ever!! :D Anyways I hope you guys like it!

That is a tidy setup pal, case looks like it means business. How much further do you want to/need to go with the upgrades on that beast? Can see productivity in life taking a nose dive haha

Thanks for the reply! I'm still learning and I had bought the 1000w PSU hoping that it would handle further upgrading of graphics cards later on but I wasn't sure how much power two 670's would require. I'm glad you told me that because now I'll just save my money and stick with my 1000w haha :)

#atomsmasher - Well at first I was planning to upgrade most of the components to bigger and better but after thinking more about it, it should be able to handle any demanding games that come out for the next couple of years just fine so I might just hold back on splashing out more cash on it until it losses the power to keep up (hopefully that's a long way away). By that time I'll probably pay another visit to PB Tech and build a whole new system and use this one for music production and such. I do want to upgrade the graphics cards though but other than that I think I might just keep it the way it is :) Oh you bet haha, I'm trying not to get to lazy lol I still try and get out and go for a skate everyday for a few hours and count that as exercise :p

I love this +Rep! how are the G930's btw? was going to purchase them, atm I have the razer carcharias, at first I thought they were good but they're pretty bad to be honest, they leak sound very badly, lack in bass and have a terrible microphone :(

Hey thanks :) Oh really? lucky then cause I was going to get those because I love Razer Products but then I saw the G930's and the less wires I have running along my desk the better haha. So far they're VERY good, I haven't had any problems with them leaking sound and the sound cancellation is really good when you have audio playing on them. I'll be playing BF3 with the sound at a comfortable level (not too loud) and I can't hear anyone talking around me (I'm starting to hear them now as my ears are adjusting but for the first 3 weeks or so I couldn't hear them at all and it's still only just noticeable). As for bass they have plenty of it and it's even greater when you turn on the dolby digital mode on them. So far the microphone is awesome as well, very clear and good noise reduction. Then again I haven't tested out a lot of mic's so idk it's very good by my standards haha. I'm very happy with them :)
