FINALLY DONE!
Here is the deal, you can watch the 6 minute video of the whole project, or simply read this.. Video: (Sorry about the grammar and spelling in the vid, my keyboard was breaking and the vegas project did not open up again (so i can edit it). CPU: See the link below: http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/...ml#post7233327 EVGA P55 FTW motherboard the EVGA P55 FTW is a very awesome motherboard. Tons of PCI-E x16 slots, , and PCI slots inbetween. Great layout, LGA-775 cooler mounting pins, only catch is the cooler will fit at an angle. Not really a problem at all, just more of an asthetic thing.. who cares if it is in a case? :P The motherboard looks awesome itself, with the black heatsinks, ports, PCI slots and slots.   the overclocking section in the BIOS lets you tweak almost anything you wanted to! from the CPU signal, to the PWM MOFSET freqency! The motherboard features two 8-pin CPU power sockets incase you're going for those big records on LN2/DICE/(maybe even water!). HD 4770 Love the look of the back.. front.. eh, looks bear. But Does not matter, it is in my case, right? Pretty fast if you ask me, love the fact that it is 40nm.. I don't have much else to say. Runs most of my games very fluidly. I set the overclocking bars to the top, and it was stable from there... Pretty good if you ask me. Runs very cool.. (40nm, duh). Very good buy, i would recommend it to any average gamer. Was only 100 bucks i think. Does not matter what vendor tbh, all ATI vendors are equally good. ULTRAs 750 WATT PSU I was very dissapointed it did NOT come in the lovely bags that corsair sends it in... Anyway, it is quiet, good cable lengths, and seems to be a good quality PSU. Only con i have is that it only has 45 amps on the +12 volt rail (540 watt).. Missed corsair's 62A.. :P Good buy for only 93 bucks. HITACHI 1TB 7200 RPM 3.0 Gb/s HDD Its okay, works nice and fast, detected all 1TB. No cons really. Corsair XMS3 Memory eh, its corsair, nothing really to say! I got a good deal on the CAS9 4GB kit. Thermaltake V1 cooler I was quite doubtful when i bought it, I thought "ugh i could be getting the mugen 2 for this price" but it was not so bad after all. Idled 25c, and loaded @ 75c (average, large/blend p95) More pics

Sounds like a good build. However, don't let the i5 go to 100°C.
