I tell you a combination of the SSDs and the fact that multiplatform games are accommodating 5 year old consoles are the only reason I can play stuff like Deus Ex Human Revolution with maxed out graphics settings and 1920x1080.

To be honest, you should only upgrade when your machine was obsolete. Now that I'm finally making cash (kinda), I wanted to update my 5 year old system. I bought this new rig on labor day.
It's like SSDs. Do you really need them? No. You buy them just to say you have the latest technology. I see no difference loading WoW from my 2TB than loading WoW from my SSD. They're both instant.
-
That's because it's WoW. It's much easier to see the difference when doing more HDD intensive tasks. Plus, mine are striped which further increases the difference. I don't think I've ever gone more than a year without upgrading something on my computer.

I plan on purchasing a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 whatchamawhoosit now and probably a 60gb or 30gb SSD to run Windows off of, and save some more space on it for when BF3 comes out and I hunger for uber load times, use the 1TB for everything else, games, storage, data, videos, music, bulk stuff.
30Gb SSD is going to be a pretty tight squeeze if you are running Vista/7 and want BF3 on there as well. Just a warning on the Samsung drive (I have two of them), they are a little bit loud for a sub-10k RPM hard drive and they aren't the speediest of drives either. However, I haven't had any failures yet which I can't say for my SSD's or the last 3 WD drives I purchased.

Don't cheap out on the SSDs either, get something quality, the big three right now are Intel, OCZ, and Corsair. They all have 3rd generation versions of their flagship SSDs out right now, but unless you are dead set on getting SATA III, their 2nd gen stuff should be more than enough for what you need, they usually saturate SATA II so you are getting your money's worth.
-
That said, my first set of OCZ's failed and were RMA'd. The replacement set has been going strong but the RMA process took just under 2 months for me to get my replacement drives which is complete BS. LOL, actually the new ones are exactly one year old, today.

Yeah I'm glad I avoided the first generation of SSDs, I've heard nothing but horror stories about them. Second generation and onward are definitely better, I couldn't be happier.

You changed on us. Trying to optimize for board space? :P

No, I just had initially posted an incomplete list and had the info posted on ASR so I just copied and pasted.
First build from scratch ever, I think I did really good on the cable management, I still gotta tuck away a stray sata cable or two.
Not bad for a first build. One thing I'd recommend doing quick is twisting rotating the fans so the cable has as little distance to travel as possible then twist up the fan cable. Looks a bit cleaner and you don't have to worry about a cable falling into a fan. What's it running temperature wise right now?

I'm running a PS3 on a 42" LCD and a Pioneer surround.....I dont even come close to what's being posted :'(

I have My custom built computer. (I built it with my uncle, so i am not sure of all the specs. I dont play computer games alot so yes.) ((I really only ever use it to play anything free on steam, by perfect world entertainment, or Blizzard excluding WoW)
all i know about it is it has a sabertooth motherboard, and an asus moniter.
I then have my xbox. New 250gig slim version. I own over 70 different games for it. (Not including my countless indie games)
And 3 controllers + some turtlebeach X31's.
I have ps2 that barely works, 2 wired controllers, one wireless. About 12 games, only 3 of those work though.
Then after that, I have my Nintendo 64 with upgraded graphics card. 2 controllers, one memory pak, and Mario Kart 64 and Pokemon Staduim.
-
Yea, i have 2 xbox 360s (i had 3 and sold it last week) a ps3, a gay as hell wii, and a bunch of the old stuff. Going to get another ps3 soon, i want the slim. Lol. Oh! And My computer sucks.

Are there any good shops that build custom computers in west phoenix? I'm to scared to build my own
-
Shops typically overcharge. I do custom builds but I'm in the East Valley, some of the other people on here who did their own builds may be willing to help.

The rig is moved every friday night to my buddies house for our weekly lan party, Need to buy a second set of cables to haul around and then tie down the current, i'll do it eventually.
ahh i see.
i got sick of doing that when i was in high school, so i built a second rig.. then i just ended up getting a laptop lol
nobody here plays LoL? it's so big now, i'm sure there's at least a handful..

Not bad, although I'd consolidate down to one larger SSD if the wallet allows. Only done some slight refreshes to mine. 1TB MX100, GTX970, H440 Razer case. Still spending all my money on server stuff and car. Updated both of the ESX hosts, working on adding a 3rd. Added another 4 spindles to the SAN and a MX100 for the ZIL. Moved to a Supermicro case, then added a second SAN for backups. Counting the stuff I'm selling, I've got pushing 80TB of storage at the house. LOL.

Damn, and I was astounded I hit 44 TB...
External only.
Looking to upgrade my cpu and MB soon though, since I got my 980ti.
