Since I'm stuck around the house recovering from surgery, I decided it was a good time to upgrade the desktop to keep me entertained. Normally the money would go into my truck or some new guns, but I have a gun build in process and can't work on the truck for a least a few more weeks.
Soooo here goes;
Starting with a leftover Antec ATX case I had from almost 8 yrs ago
CoolMax 750w 80+ cert SLI compatible PSU
ASRock Z77 Mobo, Fatal1ty edition w/ SATA 6, usb 3.0 and Fatal1ty mouseport, SLI/crossfire compatible
the NEW i7-3770 Ivy bridge cpu @ 3.9ghz in the new 22nm factor, 77w
Twin SATA 6 60gb SSD's in setup in raid\
MSI Twin-FRozr II GTX560TI Fermi (2gb Vram version)
8gb of Gskill ddr3 1600 ram.

This thing is quiet, RETARDED fast and makes all my previous gear seem like a joke. Eventually I'd like to upgrade to 16gb of ram, and run a second Twin-Frozr in SLI..but right now there really isn't a reason. This thing can play any game at full settings on a 40"+ display and doesn't blink an eye. Has handled anything I've thrown at it without a problem.
Just expressing my nerd today I guess. :)
