Originally posted by DST4ME Man you got lot of overkill in there, I hope its not for gaming, otherwise lot of money went down the drain, what are you going to use that 1500va apc for? its not gonna do it for this pc. But its your pc and if that what made you happy then congrats if you have talked to us first we could have helped you make it better. If I understand correctly you are gaming on 2 TVs? their res is I guess 1920 x 1080?

It's for gaming for sure, but I wanted to get the absolute best, money wasnt a factor, at all.  And yes they are both 1080p

Oh and the APC is going to be for a laptop not this, I am ordering a much bigger batterybackup from APC tomorrow.

sheesh....hate to see all that RAM go to waste....in some instances you can have to much RAM....it can actually slow things down.....

LOL ha ask for that one for sure, if its not too late call DS and at least drop ram to 6GB, more then that is pure waste, and you can always add ram later, its the easiest thing.

btw, one hell of a difference going from laptop to that beast ay?

Can't wait to see pics of your beast

Let the torture begin

Update:  Stage 4 of 6 as of today.... Also, Processor was upgraded from 980X to the 990X  (Thanks Cassandra!)
