So awesome!
I love the X79 FTW board 

Nice. I wish i could still do it. Even with free stuff. :( I wanna make a dedicated folding rig but no money to do that

Well nothing came for free here sadly heh but I have learn in the distant past is that if you really want something that badly you will find a way and achieve

Just give yourself the time to achieve your goals, plenty of new stuff coming this year, that will make the items as the ones I purchased even more attractive and affordable, it's only been 3 years for me since my last new buildm so for me it was the right timing, also right after this VGA card sale:

Maybe you should try and sell what you don't need and that way you can also make the money you just might need for the upgrade or new parts.

You could sell what you have now and add some saved up money to make the build complete or you have patience and lay money aside and hope within a moth or two to accomplish your goals

 
Sadly no income and also nothing to really sell.

Well I looked at your systems specs they seem very nice even for today's games, as for Folding @ Home and other crunching based programs I never got in to those they would eat away my power bills and that would make things over priced, anyhow I never got interested in such project, main importance is to have support for the latest upcoming games.

Your system would still do very very well, i'd not be ashamed yet there are many more people that have much lesser specs than you and even they are satisfied on what they have achieved!

I'd not worry too much mate

 
I got all that stuff used and cheap. Now All I need is a folding systems. If you look in my sig there is links to all systems
 

Dude, love it, love the case. I need to get me some blue ray burner drives lol, i only have an old external dvd burner, but it works :P

And MOAR Progress!!!!
 
Just bought this one
 
Noctua NH-D14 Special Edition 2011
http://highflow.nl/cpu-co...tua-nh-d14-se2011.html
The other good news is that my RMA for the Corsair vengeance memory was accepted , CD ROM Shop breda wills end me a set of 4x 4GB Kingston Hyper-X Genesis DDR3 1600 in return :)

 

Macros

+1 for another NH-D14 user!

Hay thanks Macros
Well I had little choice, since my case the Lian Li Tyr PC-X2000B has 140mm fans, so going for the Corsair H80 & H100 didn't seem useful, because their rads & fans are smaller, they are 120mm instead of 140mm!
 
And an EK or Danger Den Water kit may have been an option, but for me that would not be so handy, since I don't like messing with water and PC's, it never has been my nature and it never will The chance of seeing a big explosion is very to most likely
 
Noctua has another cooler for Land Grid Array 2011, but it brings even more limitations as size and cooling area goes, it's width was also a pain to deal with, so that wasn't the solution either.
 
Then I took a quick look at the Zalman air cooler, I was like ah this isn't it either, it seemed too small for what I was seeking, so yeah the Noctua NH-D14 SE 2011 was my only and best way out
 
It's kind of disappointing that there is not much to choose from for LGA 2011 as air coolers go
But hey this cooler oughta handy even the toughest CPU's, just gotta find out how to mount the thing, I had in mind to remove the middle fan to reach for the mounting screws, ah well I'll see I guess, it should not be that complicated I assume

Is it done yet . This isn't even my build and I'm anxious to see the finished product.

Looking good man. Can't wait to see it all hooked up! =D

And today the final bits of the puzzle have arrived, the CPU cooler also took a shot of the ram which arrived last Saturday :)
 

 
The only piece of hardware I wait for now is the Monitor the HP ZR24w 24" S-IPS Panel and the OS will come later, but that does not mean I can start building this setup, because that is now possible!
 
Stay tuned as I click this puzzle together

Macros

I just hope you checked that the heatsink has enough clearance for the RAM you purchased.
Can't wait to see this being put together. Gonna look sexy!

I did, my ram is 30mm high max height usable is 48mm to my knowledge :)  It's why I RMA's the Corsair Vengeance ram sticks since they had heat spreaders on them that made then 50mm high, the ram kit I have now is just normal ram height which is 30mm :)
 
Also is seemed my Mobo was resealed, this might indicate that EVGA Europe gave it the new bios chips to fix the Bios Bug :), my mobo box had double placed rounded EVGA seals on both ends.
 
Anyways I just hope the i7 3820 will function without any hesitations.
 
Due to the many hospital appointments I have and the 4 week vacation I will build this system once I have obtained the first EVGA GTX 680 FTW 4GB Edition and the Win 7 Pro x64 UK + SP1 OS, I want to show a complete system and not a half one, just to keep you guys updated and I will complete this one please don't worry about that, alright! 
 
All will come in to place and as you know it will be a lot like all the builds I have done, a very neat clean result is the idea
 
So it's better to keep it all packed in away from dust fall and such, now the parts are better protected

DAM that box is HUGE. You ever get this bad boi up and running yet?

No not yet, I have too many things coming my way, please read this post thx, it says it all

Yeah thanks man, will do, the campsite has WiFi so I'll pop up here @ EVGA and post a greet too
 
As for the size of the D14 haha I truly have no idea what to expect but since Macros has one xDDD He's the expert me thinks hahah I think it's humungous really, just an insane idea that became a reality me thinks, funny bit it seems to cool pretty darn good too rofl!
 
Them Austrians @ Noctua sure knew what they were doing after reading this review of this odd cooling apparatus:

Hi Gold Leader!
Very nice build! Can't wait to see it finished! I especially like that LianLi case!

Good mornings xDDD Thanks Christus xDDDD Yer that was actually part of Project G34 but since the 6276's I wanted for it are still like beyond the 1200 euro mark I kinda pulled off from the idea but I knew that this case would be handy for something else and these days they are close to unavailable also
 
It has three heatzones, top for your IO drives & PSU, center for the Mobo VGA cards sound cards raid cards and bottom for the HDD's each does does not interfere with the other this creating the ideal cooling situation

This is going to be awesome!  I love the case.
