New system is finally all together (with good sticks of RAM this time!)

Intel 5820K
Gigabyte X99 Gaming G1 Wifi
16GB Corsair DDR4-2666

...and for now, reused parts...
Galaxy GTX 660 Ti GC 2GB
MSI GTX 660 Ti OC 2GB

WD 1TB Velociraptor

I use an external audio interface from Focusrite with 2 Yamaha HS8 studio monitors for sound, a Razer Deathadder (latest edition), and Razer Lycosa keyboard (it bugs out sometimes, but I can't bring myself to upgrade quite yet).

Was running an OC'ed Q6600 at 3.2-3.4 ghz with 4GB ram and an evga 680i SLI Motherboard. I was running this setup since 2007 and it wasn't doing too bad. MWO forced me to upgrade since it's the only game I'm playing right now and it's optimized so well.

Upgraded to this in July, what a difference.

Asus Z97-A
Intel 4790K
Gigabyte GTX 470 Super OC (I've had this card since 2010 and it still does OK)
Avexir Ram 8GB
Logitech G5
Microsoft Sidewinder KB with red back lit keys.
Old Asus 1080P monitor
Hyper 212 Plus (I think)
Lian Li PC-65B (Case is from 2007, I want an updated one from corsair with the PSU on the bottom)
PC Power and Cooling 750W PSU (Also from 2007 and worth every penny, has been rock solid)

I've had mine for ~5 years now. Last upgrade was a newer GFX card ~1 year ago.
Served me well since I built it and probably will last another 2-3 years before upgrading.

Mainboard: Asus Sabertooth 55i
RAM: 8GB Corsair Dominator XMS3 DDR3-RAM 1600MHz
CPU: Intel Core i7 860 2,8GHz (running at 3,5GHz) watercooled (same cooler since AMD Socket A)
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 120GB (System) Corsair P128 120GB (Games)
PSU: Corsair Professional Series Platinum AX860i 860W
GFX: Palit Geforce 660Ti Jetstream
Case: Yeong Yang Super Cube Server (been using that one for about 10 years now)

The sad thing is that the framerate in MWO didn't change much after overclocking the CPU.
There's still alot of work to do to optimize in MWO. Currently my FPS range from 30-60 (limited) and heat view sometimes drops me even lower. Yet none of the CPU cores goes over 30% load (10-25% usually) and GPU is around 85%.
So there's still room for more performance, but the game doesn't use it.

Quoting a 1 year old post because I have to ask: how do you like the Ghost? I'm strongly considering it. I currently have a 650D, and it's too noisy for my taste, plus the ghost has way more features and customization options than the 650D does for less $$$.

I'd like to be able to do a H100i in Push/Pull inside of it, but not sure it will fit. Also, does the plastic make it feel 'cheap?'

Please note that you could also ask that in a private message, to not disturb the threads purpose. Or with a dedicated thread for that component. Thank you, for keeping that in mind in the future.

Nothing crazy here... built on a budget to upgrade from my aircooled i5 750, gtx 460, asus p7p55d deluxe, etc.

O/S: Windows7 64 Ultimate
Case: Corsair 600T (love this case, huge for a 'midtower')
PSU: 650w TruePower New design
MB: ASrock Z77 extreme 4 (have always been an ASUS kind of person but these got great review for the money)
Processor: i5 2500k (since the board is a Z77 chipset I can go Ivy bridge down the road if I need to step up a little)
Cooler: Antec 920 Kuhler (using the supplied fans for now but I have a couple corsairs to go on if I need to)
Memory: Gskill Sniper DDR3 1600 2 x 4gig (going to add another set at some point)
SSD: Kingston HyperX 120gb
HDD: couple TB barracudas for storage (pic taken before I put the other one in)
GPU: Dual GTX 660 Ti's 2gb MSI power edition frozen boost models (SLI, although SLI doesn't work for MWO)
etc.

Updated mine a little recently:
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming
Memory: Gskill Sniper DDR3 1600 4 x 4gig

Also overclocked the i5 2500k a bit more, running 4.4ghz right now on stock voltage. Temps are good and been running stable. Probably could push it up a little more but I would need to start pushing up the voltage.

Next step will probably be to change out to a i5 3570k processor unless a good deal comes about on a board/ processor.

ETA: Also picked up a Corsair K70 Vengeance keyboard a short time ago. Still running the Anker 8200 mouse.

Things are heavily overclocked. 4.4ghz CPU, as an example. MWO runs at 120 FPS right up until missiles start raining on me, then the game does the usual MWO routine.

Small update:

Added a second SSD for some hot, greasy RAID 0 action. My "whorehouse red" CCFL setup went t1ts up so I switched to LED and swapped out the front 200mm fan for a red LED 230mm unit. I now run a Corsair Vengance M90 mouse and MM600 mouse pad. I also scored a free desk enabling me to add a second monitor.
