I've just completed the last thing on my build (in my sig) i wanted to do. Which was oc'ing, pretty happy with it. Now i've got no complaints what so ever. Only thing is my graphics card is kinda bending at the end. Going to try and lift it with some sort of string or something.

Anyways is there anything anyone knows i can improve (hardware) on my rig?
Bios is finetuned just the way i want it. And the fans are perfect (i might get one in between my hd and psu). I'm waiting on my new fan controller, the new zalman 6 channels in a 5.25 inch bay (looks real nice). Does anyone know of a cooler that'll fit my northbridge? It is getting kinda hot (45c under load) but i'm kinda short on space if you can see what i mean.

E8400? Some type of 45nm? And possibly a GTS G92. I've seen ones as low as $279.99 after rebates on Newegg.

nah i wouldnt bother,that system he has will do fine for some time;)

do you have vista Vipernitrox or Xp?

if so i would get vista to run dx10...but you probably already have it?
 
Does your second PCI-e slot run at X16? If it does, you could get a second GT and run SLi. Everything else looks great. :)

been thinking about getting a new proc yes... but this oc'ed will do fine for the moment.
as for the gpu, well as soon as you seen a passive cooled one let me know :P. I hate the extra sound.

right now i've got xp but i'm planning on changing it to ultimate 64bit. But i need a second hard drive for that. My partition table is kinda screwed up (partition magic won't even read it anymore). So i want to transfer all my data and then completely erase the thing.

the second one runs at x8 if i remember correctly. Won't fit anyways, will hit the southbridge cooler.

ok i attached the video card to my psu cable (pretty sturdy one)
cleaned up some cable mess, especially around the psu so i can install another fan in there.
