:o ... :o there must be a smiley here that conveys my thoughts on them specs... nope - it's this one:

:o

Please don't tell me you're using that rig solely for emulation?! I'd love to see what that badboy can do running Skyrim or Crysis 2 or BF3! For the record Skyrim is the one i'm really interested in, but Crysis and Battlefield are beautiful games graphics-wise nonetheless.

I see you went Corsair for your RAM (who wouldn't) but what do think of Ripjaws? i only ask coz i can get hold of a pair of 8gb for £50/$70 and you seem like you might have experience with good kit! :P

Seriously though man i tip my hat to that rig. WOW.

Should do yourself a manual clock and get it nice and high.

Iv found on auto you will fry it for long term use.

Thanx. I'ma hafta get and try Skyrim. I'll letcha know how it looks. Well actually it's a entertainment PC also I have a TON of videos on it from cartoons to police shows to classic TV etc. I'm still in the process of loading programs. I only have a few to go. I'm also gonna tackle setting up Game Ex and all the emulators I have. I also need to update my Mame and ROMs geez.
