This computer is going be so fast. I plan on taking a pic of it after I build it. Hopefully the part's are here this week. Super excited for this bad boy.

 

Very nice, pretty similar to the system I'll be building in July/August, except I'm going for the i5 2500k. I'd love the i7 but HT won't benefit that much in games and I don't really do video rendering, so the extra $100 is a dealbreaker for me.

edit: Not a big fan of the case. Just personal preference, but I would've gone for a Lian Li Lancool PC-K62.

 

personally I don't like 902, I do have it still but I am planning to get Corsair Graphite 600T White edition

 

16GB RAM, you should work in NASA with such computer

 

Nice case. I have a Armor MX that looks close to that.

Good luck building it.

 

What do you guys play/ plan on playing with that? And what programs running?

 

WOW, this computer is going to be beastly. I wish I had 1600 dollars to make one just like it haha.

 

Ha, that's what I've got running here.

 

Cooling?

 

Congrats, going to be a task 1/2 to put the computer together, but once done, I'm sure it'll be worth it.

 

You never updated us with a pic ;(

 

Not really that hard, all it involves is slotting things into place and screwing a few things down. Check out my guide in the guide section, it explains how easy it really is.. and it's definitely worth it, you save money and get better parts + usually a better warranty

 

Very nice, although mines going to be better <3

 

Very nice. I have the same case and it's great. Slightly better than my comp but only because mine is a 1.5 years old

Also, I haven't been following parts recently, but if that is the newest/best ATI don't get it, they're usually glitchy. Go with 2 1GB instead.

 

Nice, Computer But I like macs.

 

Ditch the ASRock, it's basically Asus' bitch.

 

Run a few bots on that!

 

There's nothing wrong with ASRock, the only things bad about their boards is that the color schemes usually suck ass. They've gotten better in the past year or so, but they still do some tacky color combinations.

 

Again, Cooling?
I'm waiting for the new sockets before I purchase a new CPU or mobo.

 

Ha you think asrocks colour scheme is bad, checkout gigabytes .

Asrock has gotten A LOT better lately, lots of people buy them because they're a bit cheaper then others with the same features, and still provide fairly good support.
