Ok well i've put this off a while so i guess i should post pics of my rig. Plus i just found out from my phone i can upload to photobucket which makes it easier.

Specs:
Case:nzxt Phantom
Mobo: Msi p67a-gd55
Cpu: 2600k (will oc in the future)
Gpu: 6950 (will oc in the future)
Ram: Patriot 1600mhz memory 8gb
Cpu Cooler: Hypter212+
Psu: Corsair Tx v2 650w

I really love the nzxt brand. they have great customer service ect. The mobo really sucks, i wouldn't reccomend it to anyone. I would rather have a normal bios than a uefi bios with all the bugs... But lesson learned. I'll go asus or evga next time. Cpu is great. gpu is great. the ram is great and fast but patriot is the absolute worst customer service ever. They will never get back to you by email... I've rma'd the same stick of ram twice 1 month turnaround each time!

Everything else is pretty great, i learned what brands to go with and not to go with.

So on to the pics:
btw my case is better than yours! :P







and a pic of my desk.



Click on each to see the pics not cut off.
Also there are a few more pics at my Photobucket Account

Not a fan of Phantom to be honest, but your rig looks pretty good man

You did a good job, we could have saved you some time and told you not to go msi or patriot, I like Mushkin for ram and evga for mobo.

Looks good!

I agree with DST though.. not a fan of that case. Maybe because a certain company has made it one of their mainstream builds.. cough* starts with "i" ends with "power". But overall i like low profile cases.. my next case will be a DangerDen case though.. lol.

Nice set up, maxyme. Once you learn how to use it properly maybe you'll stop getting messages from BFBC 2 that says you need to learn how to shoot!! LOL
Hahaha.

Anyone else agree that case would look so much more badass in matte black?
