    Nice! I'm waiting for some OC results on that 3820.

    Maybe I'll change the 2600K for a X79 with a 3820 and a GTX670

    Build Complete. Sorry for the Bush League pics. Had to crawl under the desk! Love that XSPC water block. The lights give it that extra bling that just says "sexy".

    Nice build, with two GTX680s that thing will fly. I'm struggling to figure out why you went X79 though as LGA2011 is more of a server than desktop platform

    Nice, that is one hell'va upgrade. I assume it is a gaming rig with dual GTX680's

    Vista? I would have opted for Win 7 HP 64-bit OEM for Newegg an extra $100.....

    Personally, I am skipping X79 as I already have X58 and I suspect that it will be another single CPU platform like 1156 was.

    Socket 1155 is a good choice right now. From what I've seen the new intel socket is going to be more like a downgrade - Socket 1150 or something I don't get intels logic on that one... my guess is they probably think the performance of Z77 1155 platforms is a little too good preventing as many sales of higher priced 2011 stuff.

    True the cost of a 2011 costs wee a bit more but when I compared the parts to a 1155 set up I specked out vs the 2011 the 1155 was only $20 USD cheaper. Easy decision to go 2011. After playing with it for about a week now it was an obvious good call.

    Oh and on the comment about upgrading to Windows 7, yes I considered it but I still had a valid license on my Visa so I figured why not use it? Besides, I still get direct X 11 with Vista! I'll pickup W7 eventually....

    Win 7 is a lot faster than Vista with less bloat though.

    Maybe by the time you get Win7 then Win8 will be out and you'll be behind again lol

    True that brother! I never have been one to grab the newest OS when it comes out. I'll get Win 8 when the Win 9 beta is ready to roll out.

    only 20$ less, but a lot more overclocking possibilities
