I built this system a few months ago. Basically I was looking to use the latest technology such as the Core i7 and a great graphics card that could be expanded on later. I was able to overclock the CPU to 3.6GHZ without any issues. I burned in the computer using many different programs including Prime95 over the course of a week. Never had any issues with heat and it is only air cooled.
So, what do you think? Also, if you were spending about $1800-1900 on building a computer, would it be similar to the one below or completely different? I mainly just interested in opinions about hardware, not the OS.
