Rate this monster
Last response: in Systems
I've built a few systems/upgrades over the years but always on a tight budget. Ive always wanted to go all out on a system a monster something worthy of a "holy-crap!" reaction even from a lay-person. I now find myself in position to do just that. Let me know what you think.

Get away from a Phenom II, it is old tech and if you want a monster you will need an i5/i7 build heavy overclocked. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-o...)
Also, you do not need a 1600W PSU for two 7970's. A good 850W would be more than enough and leave room to OC. Heck the Toms's $2000 marathon build with i7 and 2 7970s only had a 750W (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-computer-how-...) 1600W is a bit extreme.
