Hello everyone! This is my first DS system and I  can't wait to get the email to say I can come pick it up, its in stage 5 since Tuesday.
 
Anyway I plan to game and watch movies on my new machine.. I will mostly play TOR, BF3, Diablo 3, and other new games that catch my fancy. My previous 2 gaming machines where XPS's. Iwill be playing on a 27" Viewsonic HDMI monitor and connecting a 19" for vent and referencing quests. I think i can connect the 2 monitors up to the new video card right?
 
 I wanted do make the machine look cool and be able to play my games at the highest settingTell me what you think..

Ask DS specifically for this fan to be added to the top, so you endup with 4 x 200mm fans:

haf 200mm non led fan

Ask for vcore lower then 1.4 for your oc.
