I guess I forgot to make a build log when I first got all the parts for this PC, but better late than never, right? Anyway, let's dive into the parts list:
Current Build
Processor: i7 2600k @ 4.4 GHz (1.320V)
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 paired with Arctic Silver 5
RAM: 8 GB Kingston DDR3-1600 RAM
Motherboard: MSI Z68MA ED55 (B3)
Case: Rosewill Thor V2 (Black)
Storage: 2x 1 TB Seagate Barracuda (RAID 1)
Storage: Intel 520 Series 120 GB SSD
Graphics Card: ASUS Radeon 7850 2 GB
Disc Drive: ASUS OEM DVD Burner
Power Supply: Rosewill HIVE 750W
Monitor: 20" Dell Monitor
Monitor: 20" LG Monitor
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
Planned Additions
Disc Drive: Lite On Light Scribe DVD Burner (Light Scribe is awesome, I'd love to try it out, and it's only $3 more than any other DVD burner)
Hopefully I can get some pictures up of this build later today, because it looks alright, but nothing special, no case mods or blinding LED's.
So far this build has cost me somewhere around $1400, and I want to make it the kind of computer that I can upgrade and add new parts whenever I like, and from the old parts, build another computer. In the end, the other computer will probably be the same computer as I originally had LOL, but whatever.
Temperatures:
CPU Idle: 28C
CPU Prime95 Test: 65C @ 4.4 GHz
GPU Idle: 36C
GPU Full Load: 65C
Pictures: Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Uses
I mainly use this PC for gaming, making videos, surfing the net, and everyday stuff. I enjoy having a higher end system, because I'm a geek who looks at the long run: If an SSD boots Windows quicker by 10 seconds than a HDD, that (for me at least) , that saves me an hour of time every year from booting.
(I boot my PC around once a day, not everyday though) I also really enjoy working with PC hardware, and drool over all the new hardware that is released all the time. 
Goals
-Achieve a 4 GHz OC on the 2600k, without going above 65C under load (Done!)
-Successfully configure a RAID Array (Done!) (RAID 1 - 2x Seagate Barracudas)
-Have a successful setup with 2 DVD drives (I do legal DVD copying, so if I can copy + burn at the same time, it saves quite a bit of time)
-Learn how to properly use two monitors (I know how to use them, but I'll probably learn with time, on how to use them more efficiently) (Done!)

4.4 GHz Proof & Temperatures:

Internal View of all Components:

Hyper 212 - Look at that GPU and RAM clearance!

Another view of the components:

This fan blows air through the case. It's 120mm. That is all.

"Double rainbow monitors all the way across the desk!"

SSD Read/Write Testing, hitting over it's top speeds of 550/500!
