I just wanna know what people think of this and how long it will last me before upgrading CPU/Motherboard. I spent about 1700 (minus shipping) for this rig.

Thanks man, you know it wasn't as hard as I or most people thought/think it was gonna be. Building a computer is very simple if ur not a moron. I love to work with my hands (my car, computer etc) Buillding a computer, playing you're favorite games at max settings is so much more enjoyable when you know you built it.

Oh one thing about the motherboard, if you decide to buy one. For the love of GOD, please disable the NV Firewall and Network Access Manager drivers, DO NOT install them when installing your drivers. The firewall found on the Nvidia motherboards will cause corrupted downloads, slow down/upload speeds and alot of other problems.

no the hardware itself doesn't, it's just that NV made 1 for some reason.....

You should install the nForce chipset drivers... just not use the firewall.
