This is my first rig. I love this new system, lol. It's so awesome, it's such a beast! Took a long time to build though, almost a month (spent a week trying to diagnose problems, only to find out i got shipped a dead motherboard. i waited until black friday to get windows 7 for $109 and that took about 5 days to get. there were other minor issues but I won't bore you guys with those.)

SPECS:
i5 750
Corsair h50 Cooler
Asus P7P55d PRO
XFX Geforce GTX 260
Mushkin Silverline 6GB (3 x 2)
Seagate Barracuda 750GB
Lightscribe Blu-ray
Cooler Master Silent Pro 700w
HAF 922
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit


And now my journey with pics!:

Well, I had received the first round of my stuff on a Friday, during the Nor'Eastern that hit my area really hard; first initial pics of the boxed up goods:



After I had gotten everything out of the big boxes:




This is the bare chassis. This thing is MASSIVE, i thought maybe I should make it my new bed instead of housing all my components in it (and to think I was going to get the HAF 932, lol):



At this point, I put it together, and it wouldn't boot up. I spent nearly a week trying to diagnose the problem, only to find out that I got shipped a dead motherboard. I got an upgrade to the P7P55D PRO (before it was just a regular p7p55d). This is the only pic I have with the regular P7P55D:


All of these pics are my completed system with the specs listed earlier in the post:












Now for a little comparison!:


Now, I only have had the system for about 3 days and I haven't really got around to benchmarking and overclocking so temps at this point would be kinda useless. But I'll promise to those things to you guys when I can. ;)
