Hi again guys...

I just wanted to share my excitement and any thoughts or suggestions for the new parts I DID bought earlier on today so can't change anything now ;p


CPU: Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Edition Gulftown
MOBO: EVGA X58 4-WAY SLI Classified
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (6 x 2GB) - Low Latency at 8-8-8-24
OS Storage: OCZ Vertex 2 60GB
Data Storage: 7x Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB - 7200 RPM - 64MB Cache - SATA 6.0Gb/s
GPU: 2x PNY GeForce GTX 480 SLI
Power Supply: Tagan Piperock II 1100W
CD/DVD: Plextor PLEXTOR Black 22X with Lightscribe Support
Case: Thermaltake Xaser VI, Black with window side panel
CPU Cooling: Corsair H50 Hydro Cooling
Ram Cooling: G. Skill Ram Cooling

Monitor: Still thinking about it


Can't wait! I will receive all the parts in 2 weeks time because I ordered them from different websites. By the way I'm not familiar with hardcore OC which I suppose my rig would beg for it! When you OC it, it reduces its life-time right?

Thanks, any advices, thoughts, ideas would be more than welcome!

Increasing the clock/voltage on the chips reduce lifetimes; you will only experience the shorter lifetimes on high overclocks, as these chips are designed to outlast their competative usage lifetime. (So a moderate overclock will reduce the chip life, but you won't hit that wall as you will likely replace the chip before you ever get there.

Do you know any good UPS on a budget?
