Just once in my life I want to experance a PC with very little to no load times with daily operations. Games applications and muti screen muti tasking between the two. Something that screams preformance and has a little shine to it.
Can y'all at DS/Forums help me out?
 
Is this a wise build? no componts that simply arent worth the performance boost?

That case is no good for the price.

That HDD has terrible capacity for the price. Either just ditch it or select the default 500GB HDD or something.

Don't bother with the Corsair memory, it won't perform any better than the more generic Digital Storm Certified sticks, not worth the $100 at all.

The PSU isn't enough for two 480s.

As long as you don't get the loud Zalman fan upgrades (which aren't needed) any of the cases from DS are already very quiet, you don't need the noise dampening packages.

Drop the free OS tweak. The disabled services or visual effects are not even a blip on the radar of an overclocked 950 processor and you can easily miss out on helpful or nice looking things by disabling them. Better to just tweak the OS to your preferences on your own.

There are a lot of other little unnecessary extras.

Try this for a better base to build on:
Ticket #447933, Price: $2879
Lilim
Intel Core i7 920 @4.2GHz
HAF 932 - Dual SLI Nvidia GTX 480s
3x Intel X25-M G2 (80GB) SSD RAID0
R.I.P. Sinbad the cat (November 16, 1996 - April 18, 2011)
