Woot woot!

MSI P67A-GD53 mobo LGA1155 socket
PCI-e 16 x2
USB3 x2 on board + 2 front panel
Everything else you expect...I like spdif optical audio

Corsair cx500 psu. Kill-a-watt tells me it draws 295 watts at full cpu/gpu load.

4GB 2x2 Corsair ram

ASUS ENGTX460 nvidia GTX460 vid card - went with 'affordable'
1gb ram
stays ice cold (40C) at graphic load!
Spits spdif audio out thru the dvi port to hdmi adapter -- so only one cable needed for tving.

Upgraded cooler for cpu...

Random case...

2TB WD Green drive as main drive. I want an SSD, but not 'that' bad, and even the green loads SC faster than most other players in a queue so I'm okay with it.

8GB kingston thumb drive on usb2.0 as ReadyBoost

....Win7 Ultimate 'legit'.

So far I love it. Can play everything I can throw at it at reasonably higher than I notice framerates at 1080p on the projector.

I think I can squeak another video card in sli on this psu, but it'll be pushing it to 80% of rated, and that's not healthy for it.

Forgot to mention, it's 3.3ghz overclocked to 4.2ghz in the 'quick oc' settings in the mobo. apparently this chip doesn't mind to go up to 5ghz. sonofa.

you never mentioned what processor...

edit: just looked at screenshots

congrats, looks awesome!

congrats.

Still debating my motherboard since that p8p67 pro hasnt come into newegg since the recall business.
I might grab that asrock extreme 4.
Then to decide on that damn case issue and I think its a wrap.
I have the green 2tb wd as well, but was thinking of putting the OS on something else.
I have a boat load of drives in there, 400gb, 500gb, etc.
I think ill run one of them hdd speed tests and whichever one is the winner..
right now os on a 250gb and it makes some clicking sounds, its about done I think.

I'm pretty happy with the WD green - my only speed benchmark is comparing load times while in mutiplayer games watching the load bars, and ironically, my green drive outperforms on 'ultra' most 'average' people.

Also using an 8gb on readyboost. Made the system a lot slower for first loads of stuff, but 2nd+ loads are WAY quicker

I was never sure if readyboost was worthwhile.
Cuz I had a bunch of sd cards or memsticks lay around and not in use really.
Hows the MSI board so far? I had one way back and had an issue with onboard raid adding 10-15 secs to boottime with NO way to disable it.
So still a little raw bout that.

boot to win start is about 5-10 seconds, windows start is another 10...I could time it exactly but its really quick.

I heard the chipset had a problem killing sata ports, but that's been fixed with this revision.
