I bought this pc 2 weeks ago:
CPU: Intel i7 2600k @ 3.40GHz
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 2x2 1600MHz CAS7 DDR3 (x2 8GB total)
GPU: Sapphire HD6950 2GB DDR5
HHD: W.D 1 TB SATA III 64MB Caviar Black
MOBO: P8P67 DELUXE B3
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro 700w
CASE: Cooler Master HAF 912
Monitor: BX2250 Samsung 21.5" (1920x1080)

Everything is stock no oc, i am not really into oc for the moment meaby when i see a decrease in the performance.. I was thinking in adding some cooling+fans and meaby another 6950+ssd
 
Aftermarket / additional cooling is always a good idea!

Adding another HD 6950 would be a great upgrade and probably your only major upgrade.

With an SSD, the OS will boot faster and feel a bit more snappy, but games and apps aren't going to care or be "faster". If it fits into your budget then pick up a good SSD with a SandForce controller, but only after adding the second GPU.

That is a great machine! You should be happy with it for a while to come...
