Hey guys, I posted asking for advice for my new build (was my birthday yesterday so treated myself to a i7 2600k) I will be getting a new case etc once my room has been fixed up (starting in the next few months)

I also made my mac mini into a media centre, If i do a video about it will you guys be intrested? If so I will post here.

Old PC
- i7 920
- Asus x58 mobo (cant remember model at mo)
- 6GB DDR 3 RAM
- ATI 5850
- 2x 1TB Drives
- CoolerMaster 1000w PSU

New Rig
- i7 2600k
- MSI P67a-GD55 Mobo
- 8GB Mushkin Blackline Ram
- ATI 5850 (from old rig)
- 80GB Intel SSD (from laptop.. will be missed lol)
- 2x1TB Drives (From Old Pc)
- 850W Corsair AX Series Modular PSU

Changes to be made in the new rig once I have some spare money.. (And will add to post once added)

- CPU Cooler (I'm researching at the moment any ideas? I want a quiet and cool enouth for a 4.7ish ghz overclock)
- 2 x 560s sli? or maybe 570s (most likely)
- 8GB Mushkin Blackline Ram (So total of 16GB)
- 4 x WD Green 2TB (so will have 4TB as they will be in a raid 1 config)
- 120GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD or maybe a Corsair one

Some pics for you guys!! sorry they ant amazing, I just wanted to build my new pc! and couldn't be botherd to get my lighting out etc lol as my sister woke me up earily so I had around 3 hours sleep lol but I Will do much better pics when I get the new case.



















Hope you enjoyed
 
Because of the noise, I'm trying to work out whats a good scilent cooler.. I may get a 800D when my room is sorted and then go water cooling but I ant sure at the moment... But I may grab the BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro..

And yeh, My first build with a msi mobo and I like it.. I'm going to be a MSI fanboy lol but it feels quicker then my old 920 so I'm happy.. but I have yet to bench it but I will do that when I get the ram and the 570 but I wish they had a black pcb on the msi mobo.
