Finally finished my rig. here are the general specs:
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Intel Core i7-920 (quad core, 8 threads) @ 3.8 Ghz w/ Zalman CNP9700 CPU Cooler
G. Skill 4x2Gb (8Gb Total) 1600 DDR3 RAM
PNY GTX 260 core 216 Graphics Card
Rocketfish 700w Power Supply
Antec 300 Illusion Case
Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM 750Gb Hard Drive
Total came to about 1k.
This system is great for my needs: FSX, 3d rendering, Photoshop, gaming.
Was going to post some 3dmark benches, but I don't think it is that practical for determining performance.
Attatched are some pics of the case w/ plastidip black interior, custom window, and nzxt sentry fan controller.
