. I'm really surprised there aren't more Krakens and Swiftech H220s. It's good to see the Samsung Wonder RAM is doing pretty well. I also found the amount of older, slower SSDs interesting; I was expecting all Samsung 840 Pros and OCZ Vertex 4s. And I was pleasantly surprised by the number of builds including a Sound Blaster Z series, considering the general rap that Creative has.

The most interesting thing I have learned from this thread is that Corsair has some serious mindshare.
Thanks for the pointer...going to change my RAM now

Never have done an SLI build ( done crossfire a few times) would love to check it out. total is about 2400 figure shipping would easily take up the other 100 of the 2500 budget. Already have an SSD if shipping takes it over budget would dump the SSD for a traditional HDD
Why not a 3770K? If you're getting a Cosmos II you might as well get the K chip!

I know there are several like myself whom have entered in hopes of replacing their worn out and nearly useless pc,s with something they can be proud of for many years. I for one would most likely cry for joy should I be so lucky to win...I have great passion for computers and i spend on average 40% of my day on my computer...it is really one of the best hobbies I have ever had.....good luck to everyone and may the Gigabytes be with you.

Why Enhanced Blackline triple-channel?

I think it'd be interesting to see statistics for parts for example the numbers of users who chose a 3770K or a 7950 for example.

Could've gone with a e7-8870 as I can get them for just 270 euro a piece. (8 of them + the board will still be like 4000 euro)
However you would have a 160 thread beast rather wait for brickland though
