I saw the other rig posted here and today I put together a monster rig of my own that I'm considering. So I thought I'd post it, too:
Pretty good, I'd say. I'm considering only putting in one 6870 card, because I'm currently gaming on a 1378x760 (?) 36" LCD TV setup, anyway, but I'd like to upgrade to Full HD later (which doesn't have an extremely high resolution either, anyway).
I'm not so sure about the PSU either. I want the machine to be as quiet as can be with this kind of enthusiast gear, but of course it also needs to be cool. This machine was also probably meant to be overclocked, and I'm not a serious overclocker. Never really done it or feel safe with it.
I will finally be able to play the latest on PC again! (Cataclysm is mandatory for me, unfortunately.)
P.S. Haha, I just compared. Looks pretty similar to User Name's setup, really. Maybe I should have posted in that thread.
