So I finally bit the bullet and ordered the parts for a new computer today. It has been 6 years since I built my previous PC, and the i7-920 is starting to show its age. even with 24GB RAM. I've upgraded memory in it, and upgraded the video card, but I finally have enough money to go balls-deep and buy awesome things. So I'm building something awesome.
