And a pair of these tasty Gainward GeForce GTX 570 Phantoms:

I .... MUST ...... RESIST !!!!! :(
 
Bear in mind the GTX570 Phantoms are 3 slots each - not sure you can fit that and still have enough airflow :p That should stop you xD

Yea I know. I have 3 free slots per video card! But I would have to take out the fan next to the graphics cards to fit the 570s.

MSI Cyclone GTX 460s. I just want the phantom cards and the cooler because they look awesome, and also because the current CPU cooler is amazingly lame for its size.

Must ... not .... buy!

you should get the inside of the case powder coated black for the full stealth look.

I'd rather just buy a new case than do that, but the P182 is still a great case with enough room inside, and it looks brilliant on the exterior.

I'll just take the CPU cooler when it arrives in stock. My temps are going up to 88 degrees at 4 Ghz 6 months after my last reseat. I've only ever bought <£200 cards in pairs before, with the current 460s being the most expensive pair, and I went crazy on the R3E, but the slot spacing on it is perfect for 2 GFX cards and a sound card.

No more going crazy!

But seriously, if it's not struggling then there is no point at all in upgrading!

I already ordered a 2600k and sabretooth P67 otherboard, I called up the next morning to cancel it.

I am fixing my addiction once and for all!

.....

But maybe I can fix it after getting these GTX 570s :) .... :confused: .... :( .... :eek: .... :mad: .... :D .... :rolleyes: .... ;)

I want Sandy bridge now, after trying one out, can see all my AMD stuff going on the members market.
 
The problem is, that I just realised after cutting up my debit card to stop me from ordering, that I've already memorised my number and security code ......

/Fail.

(Joking :p)

I shall resist all temptation!
