My build:
Antec Three Hundred gaming case
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3 LGA1155
Intel Core i5-2500K LGA1155
G.skill Ripjaws X Series 16gb (4 X 4gb) 240-pin Ddr3
EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti FPB Graphics Card
Corsair Builder Series 600 Watt
Intel 320 Series 80 GB SATA 3.0
Caviar Blue 250GB 7,200 RPM
Viewsonic VX2250WM-LED 22-inch widescreen
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit
Samsung Blu-Ray Combo Internal
LITE-ON 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM
Western Digital SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PCI Express (PCIe) Card
Hauppauge Colossus PCI Express Internal HD-PVR

Any flaws in this? This is my first build and i want to do it right. I won't buy the parts until i get a good enough input from people who know more than I. This is a build i can live with at first, i will be including more hardware like blu-ray burners, and larger hard drives, but for now this is it. Are there better one's than Hauppauge? Does having an SSD make a big difference, or can i just us the other HD? I think the RAM is overkill. What do you think? DDR3 is not that expensive and later on i might need more (?).

I will use this system to play games, edit video from my 1080p camera and record HD movies as well as play them...this is a general all purpose media center with (i hope) great gaming potential. Any ideas appreciated, thanks.

Lets see here...
Suppose iv had a few upgrades since i last posted.

Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H(traded mobos with cuz, IDK how to OC on this one lol)
Phenom II X4 940 Quad, 3Ghz : /
OCZ Gold 1066 DDR2 4GB
Noctua NH-D14 HSF
Antec 1000W CP-1000 PSU
Crucial M4 SSD 64GB
LITEON DVD/RW drive. (Did have a LITEON Bluray drive, but.... useless)


(Crossfired)
Gigabyte 5870 1GB OC 900/1230 =/= Soon to be cooled by a Zalman VF3000A
HIS 5870 1GB OC 900/1230 =/= Cooled by a Zalman VF3000A. 53c Max Load Temp

Antec 1200 Case with two blue CFLs in the top with a switch on the front bezel.
Rear 2 Antec fans replaced with Coolor Master Excalibur fans.
Front bottom fan replaced by a higher end Antec fan with a 2nd Coolor Master fan in a
Pull - Pull configuration to bring more cool air to GPUs.

Side fan is a Aerocool 3000 turbine 80+CFMs to remove heat from GPUs.

And a Scythe Kaze Q12 Fan controller holding all the fans at bay.





Id really like a newer CPU/Mobo/RAM but i got more important things to save for at the moment. lol


Pics later.

I have more rigs than I can count, given that I am a PC Service Technician. However, here is the one that I use for basic gaming and daily internet:

Dell XPS 420
Windows Vista 64bit SP2
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz
4GB ram
Ati Radeon HD 3870 512MB
Western Digital 600GB Hard Drive 7200 RPM

It's about 3 years old and it's time to upgrade for gaming purposes. However I am too busy to do any real gaming. It runs Skyrim better than you'd think.
