Fury's Build/set-up Show-off! - Fury - 02-02-2013

Just thought I'd share and gloat a little with my latest build. I have been building/modding for eight years now and this is probably my 6th high budget build. I completed this build about 2 months ago and it is the first time, in a long time I have used Intel. I can definitely say, there is a HUGE difference in Intel CPU's and AMD CPU's. With this new FX series out it was sort of a joke to me. I hate the fact that they advertise an 8-core CPU when it is truly a quad core. I use Intel's 3770K and They advertise it as a quad core but it runs 8 cores. Anyway.

Hardware Specs:
Intel 3770K 3.50 GHz, OC'd to 4.8 GHz on Turbo Boost
Intel Sabertooth TUF Series z77
EVGA GTX 680 4GB FTW Editionm w/ backplate.
32 GB DDR3 2133MHz G.Skills RAM
OCZ Vertex 512GB SSD
(2) 1TB WD Cavier Black 6gb/s HDD
Corsair H100 Water Cooler
1000 Watt Antec Power Supply

Case:
Cooler Master HAF

Peripherals:
Razer Naga Epic Mouse
Logitech G510 Keyboard
(2) 22" Monitor Full 1090p
CM Storm Sirus Headset
Boston Acoustics surround sound system w/ 10" subwoofer.

The only thing I dislike about it is you wasted money on Intel. Otherwise very nice. What OS(es) are you going to use?

RE: Fury's Build/set-up Show-off! - Fury - 02-02-2013

Intel is honestly not a waste. I ran the Phenom II x6 OC'd to 5.0 GHz and I prefer this intel by leaps and bounds.

I run Win 7 Ultimate.

Well, I don't feel like starting another processor debate. Are you going to dual boot since you have 2 HDDs.

P.S. Can you put the photos in a spoiler?

Done.

Not sure No OS's worth it at the moment. I used to like Ubuntu, but eh.

Maybe a BackTrack or a Hackintosh?

That's really Nice mate, Hope you Keep it.

@TheEnd
Nice monitor hahaha. I used to run the 5780 with my Phenom II x6

@Kinanizer
Seems like a waste of HDD usage to me. I do everything I need to with Windows, honestly.

I do some video editting so that explains the extra space.

Oh man, you practically have the same specifications as me. Only differences are that I have a 3770S, 5TB of storage, and I don't use watercooling. I believe I'm using Corsair Vengeance RAM as well. However, I am using an EVGA 680, Sabertooth Z77, and a 1000 watt PSU just like you. Ironically, I have a friend (who will still argue now) that the Z77 is worthless, so watch out. When I get some money I'll be putting a higher end CPU, motherboard, and possibly running a second EVGA 680 in SLI.

How is the Sabertooth z77 useless Confused

Great mobo in my opinion. I used to run vengeance RAM. I really like g.skills.
