Been happy with the new rig for about a month now:
Antec 1200 case
Gigabyte motherboard: GA-X58A-UD3R GA-X58A-UD3R
12 gigs Corsair RAM
Corsair 1200 psu
i7 980x processor
GTX 480 GPU (just one for now)
I'm surprised how quiet it runs with all those fans - even when it's working hard with the 3D graphics program - sounds like a Harley purring on the freeway at 100 mph.
Been saving up for this for a long time and paid a heavy emotional price when the wife found out I transferred a few thousand dollars to our personal account to pay for it. She hasn't divorced me yet but she doesn't bring meals when I'm online any more either
