Some of you old timers will remember me, some fondly and some not...
Anyway, I just stopped by to say hi and show off my latest toy. Hi Apache, Twinky, Cain, and any of you that still know of me! LOL
So yeah I just built my first gaming rig....

Now out of all these parts... I built a sweet system. Found out too late that xfire vid cards is a waste on this mobo, but hey I still crossfired them! LOL
I do wish I had not gotten the Vigor Monsoon III, as it was a very poor fit and was skyrocketing the temps on my cpu. A simple switch back to stock and problem was solved.
Even though this is set up for easy oc'ing, I wont be for quite some time to come.
So far, I can only say.... WOWOMGWOW!
Heres a few pics:
Heres a nice side shot of my sweet case. I love this thing and it shows my trademark X on the front that isnt visible in this pic...
