Is it liquid cooled? It will not put out better than an FX57 and 7800 GTX SLI setup

I find it funny someone suggested $7k for a downpayment on a house. LOL Minimum avg housing market is like $180k right now I believe. You're 17, I'd suggest a car for $6000 then use the rest to get your insurance and stuff settled (used to the insurance tab here in NJ)

I have a hard time believing anyone is stupid enough to build a computer like that, there is no need for the redundant things you have listed there. I don't care if you work for intel running simulations to design the next processors, you did far overkill and just wasted money IMO

1000 watts must treat ur electricity bill well btw hahaha

That PS setup is capable of 1000 watts. It won't draw 1000 watts unless both supplies have a full load on them.

Check out my upgrade:
http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=121725

I have a PC Power and Cooling 850 in there now. After the upgrade I will have dual watercooling systems internal to the rig.

My FX 55, two sticks of Muskin ram, chipset, two Geforce 7800 GTX 512s will all be liquid-cooled. My ALX already has a laser-etched window. I will be painted by Smooth Creations in color-shifting paint with custom Star Wars graphics in December/Jan. I also have a Hypersonic FX7 with AMD X2 4800 and Geforce 7800 GTX go on order with same paint from Smooth and also custom Star Wars graphics on the lid.
