http://forums.evga.com...=1580504&high=esCo Can't seem to find my AMD builds but above is the entire process of what this current rig has gone through. A big thanks to EVGA for helping me with my 660 purchase/rma.
http://www.modsrigs.com/detail.aspx?BuildID=31164 So as some know I recently made the switch from AMD over to intel. And I am still till' this day loving that decision. Anyhow my rig needed some upgrades. I jumped from video card to video card, different cooling, and now I finally got my hands on a couple of SSD's. They are the old OCZ Vertex 2 models but they are still faster then my previous HDD which is now just a back up of my C drive from before the SSD install. As for my video cards, I started off with a 560, had 2 560s in sli for a very short time, a 450, then a 480 which was watercooled for most of the time I had it and now I am using a 660 FTW Sig 2 3g model and I am loving it. My room temperature is noticeably lower then it was with the 480 even while it was watercooled. As for the cooling I went from a stock HSF to a corsair h60(had troubles with the purchase not the product and had to exchange it several times due to missing items), I then went to an XSPC custom loop while using my 560 still. I then got the 480 + waterblock for the 480 so I had the cpu under water and the 480 under water(made a difference in gpu temp but not so much room temp, a lot of heat was still building up inside the case being pushed out of my case), and now since I am no longer water cooling a video card I down graded my cooling for the XSPC Raystorm, 120MM triple rad, and rasa kit to a Corsair H70. It has been fun being able to upgrade my computer as I have. Grant it most of the items are second hand used but still working as new.
A special thanks to EG91 for an amazing deal on the i5-2550k chip and the Asus P8Z68-V Gen 3 board I am using. And a very special thanks to randolla for giving me probably the best gift/deal yet with the Corsair HX1000.
