Erm... Do you think that's a bit much? I mean, wouldn't it be cheaper just to get a single 680 and upgrade when the time comes?
EDIT: Nevermind, if you have the money there's nothing stopping you from doing this. Seems a bit overkill, though.

Asus Sabertooth Z77
i7 3770k @ 4ghz
Noctua NH-D14
16gigs of Kingston HyperX 1866mhz
2 x 120gb Kingston HyperX SSD 3k @ raid0
Asus Geforce GTX 680
Edit: forgot to mention Asus Xonar D2X audio card on pci-e slot.

So Far, runs anything without a problem, if i need more power in the future, i will just add another 680 to SLi, though i think by the time, there will totally new family of graphic cards available

And ofcourse, some pictures.



On darker room, that really looks more impressive than on the light

nice rig, but with your average and single monitor, you were better of by keeping the money you spent for those gtx in your pocket. Or giving them to some charity.

nzxt phantom is the case i chose white with blue lights wish theywere green i love your case im ordering side window so i can look into it and see the goodies

also just got logitech 5.1 sorround speakers.


also plan on getting 2 mm monitors hence dual gpus .....
and as for cost the CPU and GPUs were only 500 out of my pocket...a steal cuz my friend was upgrading to waterblock 690s and xenon procesor ....he is rich

It's obviously great, don't know why you're even asking.

If you have the cash to blow on something like that, great for you, but ever since I left the nest and got my own job, I've really been fine with having 'enough'. Honestly, if you only buy one GTX680, the rig would EASILY last you 4 years, and that same money after 4 years would buy you an upgraded motherboard, cpu, and a decent if modest graphics card.

That's how I've done it for the previous decade, at least. Again, not bashing you, if you have the cash to blow, fantastic.
