I have been lurking around here for a while, but only recently joined. I work for Microcenter, and for the Reddit fans here my store was the one with the Gabe pictures on the tabs that made first page in gaming a few days ago. And it was not a customer that did it. :D I work in the BYO computer section pretty much helping people build gaming rigs and what ever else people want to do. So, I have a pretty health knowledge of PC hardware but still read what ever I can to keep learning. Hence my lurking visits here. Lots to learn here to help myself and my customers.
Anyway, let's move on to the part I'm sure will interest most of my fellow nerds here the most. My rig. I will just let my pics and links do all the talking. I am sure others have crazier rigs than mine, but I am pretty happy with it and have more planned.
3DMark Vantage - p47253 http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/4012645
3Dmark 11 - p16930 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/3152737
The pic above is a tad outdated, I have upped the RAM to 32GB to run a pair of RAM caches. This is why.
The HDD's are in RAID 0. Minor mistake in the making of the pic. :)
Quick rundown of the bits and bobs.
CPU - 2600K @ 4.8Ghz daily / 5.1Ghz benchmarking and can be seen in links above.
Mobo - P67 Asus Maximus IV Extreme
RAM - 32GB Corsair 1600 Vengeance
GPU's - EVGA GTX 680 SLI
That covers the main bits. Have some parts to start a proper water rig sitting here. Need fittings and tubes yet. Then the CPU loop will be made. Have not decided on the GPU blocks yet. Not sure I am keeping the current cards. Might get some 4GB ones or wait for 685's to hit. If they ever do.
