I currently run my system from an X-25 G2 and have a a Corsair F120 backup, but it is getting a bit "slow" sometimes so I1m planning to upgrade it inthe near future

Price is an important factor but performance and reliability is first to me, I do not upgrade very often, so I tend to spend more.

I usually upgrade evry 2 years, but I1m stuck with my Maximus II formuly mobo and Q9550 setup since I get everything I need, though I guess it's high time to upgrade especially because of the SATA III

I always build my own PC, I like to pick what I run.
