Just finished my newest build (and first post!)

First, here are some pictures:

So here are the specs:

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 Rev 2.0
Intel Xeon X5680 @4.33GHz (same chip as the X5690, just lower clocks)
24GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 (Horrible ram)
Gigabyte GTX 580 3GB (DangerDen WB)
2x 240GB Vertex 3 MAX IOPS SATA 6.0 in RAID0
X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty
Custom Sleeving/Watercooling Setup
Corsair 800D (Duh )

Any questions or comments, feel free to ask/add

*Edit*, I'm not really a gamer, just do a lot of Adobe work and HATE a slow pc. (but I do play some BF3 in my spare time)

Not sure if trolling

But none the less amazing pc, wish i could afford that , really cleanly put together too.

I'm interested to know why you chose a Xeon cpu as they're optimized for servers?

Lol, only slightly trolling

Thank you, I'm extremely... Precise... On computers. It really hurts me to see so many nice cases, with such poor wire management.

I've only played Warhead, but yes, it maxed it out. (smaller resolution 1600x1200)

There were multiple reasons. I guess I will list them off

1. The Xeons tend to last a bit longer running higher voltage then an i7
2. It has a higher memory bandwidth, and more PAEs
3. Its TJP is much higher then the i7, alowing for a higher, safer overclock (however, the RAM is holding me back)
4. It also supports TXT, which the i7 does not

Lol i was joking about crysis but all in all amazing.

Thank you! I'm a photographer I believe I just used the 18-55 lens with my Nikon D7000 most likely. I generally don't use my Hasselblad unless I'm working.

I recognize that build [maybe], are you a member of XtremeSystems?

Regardless, great build! So clean and neat, it looks really slick!
