So ive been mia for...well forever. at any rate here are the specs to my new machine in progress.

i5-2500k at 4.5 watercooled
evga z68 sli mobo
16 gigs g.skill ddr3 1600 low voltage @ 1.35v
2 gtx 560 2gb in sli
gt 520 dedicated to physx
2 ocz vertex 3 60gb in raid for boot drive.
1 500 gb seagate momentus xt hybrid drive for storage of the few games i still play(work)
1tb storage drive for backups and large video files/works in progress
xspc raystorm block/ rx360 rad/ 366b pump
all wrapped in the level 10 gt black.
currently im pushing it all thru a 46in plasma at 1080p. (im blind so dont hate on the tv for monitor.)
the watercooling was more of a desire of mine than a necessity, and the 2gb cards kinda fell into my lap.
the 520 was like 43$ and saves my gtx 460 from being wasted on physx, while also lowering my power consumption by quite a bit.
the whole system is powered by a tpg 850w psu with room to spare.
settled for 4.5 for a nice blend between performance and longevity.
the whole system is 24/7 stable and whisper quiet until the fans on the 560s kick in.
plan to add the 560s to my loop once i find the time to fit another 240 rad and possibly a second res to add to my coolant capacity, which should increase the time
it takes the coolant to reach equilibrium. also could add a 2nd hybrid but im using the bottom drive bay for cable management atm.
so many wires in this thing the back cover shoots off and is nearly impossible for a single person to get back on, but from the window all you can see are tubes and video cards =P
definately not lan party friendly as the setup weighs close to 50 lbs and moving a pc full of water is prolly not wise.

the 2500k is such a sweet chip...makes me wonder why some1 who games would even consider the 2600 for another 100$
