Got this little over two weeks ago, been a charm. I figured I'd share to get other opinions about it.

Case: Thermaltake V3 Black
CPU: Intel i7-3770 Ivy Bridge 3.5Ghz 8MB
Graphics Card: EVGA Nvidia GTX 570
RAM: 16GB (4 x 4GB) Corsair (Not sure of model)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
SSD: Kingston HyperX 120GB
Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus V Gene
PS: Thermaltake Black Widow 850W
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Of everything here, the processor kicks total ass. Not even iTunes loaded with a TB of songs can lag the system anymore! I'd highly recommended it.
 
Looks good from here... Very similar to a system I built for my bro. He's setup to add a second 570 when the time is right.

You have one of the new Ivy Bridges? Wicked things, wicked computer. Better be for the money I spent on it.

What surprises me as well is its ability to keep cool. It only has one exhaust fan, right beside the CPU cooler, and I've never had it pass 60 degrees, even under full load. I love it.

Thanks for the comment! :cheers: 👍
 
Looks good from here as well, although I would have substituted the HyperX for, say, a Force GT, an Agility 3/4, or one of Crucial's SSD's.

I don't know but something about Kingston has never sat well with me. :P

As for Ivy, I'd agree there as well. Although they get a tad bit warm (understatement) when overclocked.
