Before I begin...I want to let you guys know that I am a proud owner of all 3 consoles and both the PSP and DS since launch. They are hooked up to my 46" Samsung 1080p LCD in the living room.

However, when I game on my PC you see below, no other system comes close.

I like your Corsair cooling/case. Nice build but personally I'd add a 32GB SSD. Other than that ENJOY!

As a PC gamer myself I'd have to say very nice setup. However, my PC isn't getting any playtime from me. I'm far too busy playing FF XIII and GoW3. I'd buy the PC versions of those games to get the "ultimate" experience, but you know, they're only on consoles:P

Nice PC all the Parts seem very well thought out, and still has plenty of room for upgrades. I hope you OC the i7 to at least 3.6ghz :D It should be able to do 4ghz just fine.

It seems like i7 920 + 5870 is the combo everyone is going for now. Nice. Watercooling too, cool.

What size monitors are those?

Too high end for my taste. I don't play enough video games to really make use of a system like that. But really, nice job. Enjoy it!!

2x 480s may require a larger PSU, not that its hard to upgrade or anything. Anyways have fun overclocking that beast. I've had my 5870 in my rig since launch and I'm sure your going to have a blast with that setup ;)

Yeah the i7 920 + 5870 combo is the new Q6600 + 8800GT combo. Also those are 24inch screens.

Its a great card and can overclock a fair bit on stock cooling, what do you currently have? Also if you're running a mid size case be warned the 5870 will not fit in most mid size cases without altering.

The case is an antec 300. My card is a 4870. I'll probably wait a while until the 5870 goes down in price though.

Awesome sauce. Similarly, i'm upgrading to the i7 920 with 6gb DDR3, however i'm thinking of going with the 480, contrary to the 5870/5970.

No need to rush at all that 4870 will last you a while. Wait till the end of the year or early next year for price drops / new cards. Also I'm not sure if the antec 300 can fit that card.

Those are the exact measurments of the card.

I like your Corsair cooling/case. Nice build but personally I'd add a 32GB SSD. Other than that ENJOY!

are SSDs already up to par or surpassing HDDs? I've heard that they're still not as reliable.

reliability they're alright no technology is ever perfect, but the only factor is the price other than that they are damn fast (mostly due to the fact they have no moving parts :P).
