New build: GTX 570, 8GB, i5 760, etc (PICS!)

Just got my new build finished.

Specs:

Windows 7 Professional
Cooler Master HAF 922
Asus P7P55D-E Pro
Intel Core i5-760 Lynnfield
8GB G.SKILL DDR3 PC3 10600
EVGA GTX 570 SC > LG LED E2350V (x2)
X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty> a) PA2V2 > MS-1 .. b) Pioneer VSX-516-K > Insignia NS-B2111 (5.1)/Sony SA-W2500
80GB Intel X25-M SSD/300GB Velociraptor/500GB WD Caviar Blue
Corsair 750HX

Overall I am very very happy. Only ran into two problems: when I first powered on I was getting no picture and no beep codes. I did some research and found the RAM has to be in the blue slots (I had them in the black). Secondly, my primary display was flickering (I run dual montiors) very frequently, however that seems to have (hopefully) fixed itself.

The HAF 922 is a true pleasure to work with. Everything just works very easily with it, and even a monkey could do a decent job with cable management on this case. That's a big change from my old Antec P180b.

This build is awesome. BFBC2, Black Ops, and UT3 are the only games I have played thus far but at highest settings, they're smooth as butter.

UPDATE: Have now played Mafia II and Just Cause 2 which came free with my GTX 570 and these games run at highest settings with no issue either. And we're talking 60+ FPS smooth. Team Fortress 2 is obviously the same. So far I haven't found any game that will slow this computer down!!

Congratz!

Gz! What did it cost?

I'm totally turned on by crysis 2 atm and would like a build suited for that. In my world it's just about the same league as Black Ops etc. Am i completely wrong about that?

Cost about $1250.

IMO Crysis 2 is more intensive than Black Ops, though Black Ops is definitely right up there.

NICE!!!!!!!
Pretty good cable management too.
A 7.3 on the WEI is amazing.
Even though it is not the perfect measuring scale but still.

Thanks.

Overall the cable management would look better IMO if I sleeved the cables that are showing.

But it really was quite easy to get what I got done cable management wise with the HAF 922. Great case.

I see you just connected one of the front USBs and the 3.5mm Female jack.


Yeah its a great case I have the HAF932.

Looks really good, congrats!

Stock HSF makes baby Jesus sad

It looks great, especially that cable management, looks really clean. How are you liking the 922 as well? It lacks the black interior which is aesthetics, I know, but makes it all a hell of a lot better imo, but from looking at it (unfortunately not in person , yet, only seen/used a 932/HAF X) it seems to be a hell of a case for features

Yeah, when I pulled that HSF out of the box my jaw dropped, especially after being used to the Xigamatek Dark Knight on my E6600.

Buut, then again, I'm not overclocking so it's not really a big deal.

The HAF 922 is nice, you barely have to use any tools with it. And, like I said, even a monkey could do a decent job of cable management with it. lol.

But back to the HSF fan.. you know, the nice thing about this case is it has a cut out behind the CPU so that if I ever want to put on an aftermarket HSF, I don't have to take out that mobo!!

Very nice
