Looks like one hell of a build. That's not saying mine is shabby a bit, but that's an awesome computer right there. My next build in 2 or 3 years with be an i7 or whatever is out then.
1000 dollars for a CPU chip? I couldn't justify that just to play games.
Seriously if you plan to use that system to make money then yeah maybe.
I just don't understand the gamer mentality. Or is the ooh ahh factor?
