Nice rig, I'm not sure why you would need an upgrade though, unless you just like to keep things fresh. Post up some pics!

Looks like a bad-ass rig... I just converted over to watercooled myself. I hope to upgrade and have the SSD in mine by the end of this year. I already have the 7200. I always recommend ZOTAC Nviaia cards, they seem to stay cool better, and usually come with a lot of bonus software. But you went well with the asus motherboard. Doe sit also have the UIFI bios?

Yeah I like keeping it fresh. I am already feeling like my processor and motherboard needs to be upgraded. And I have never updated my BIOS before so I am obsessing over that but not confident enough to do it myself since it requires a sequential upgrade to the latest .ROM version, then a conversion from .ROM to .CAP, and then finally a sequential upgrade to the latest .CAP version. I first put this computer together in the summer of 2012 so Im starting to get the upgrade itch but luckily I have no money!

That is a very nice build. There are some here that may give you a hard time about upgrading just because you like to but I think its fine. I have friends that have classic cars and it seems like every other time I see then they are drooping several grand on a transmission or something so a few hundred on parts every year or so may not be as crazy as it sounds.

[TheSilentAssassin]

Yeah I probably wont be dropping any money on upgrades cause I don't have the money to do so but I am always planning my future builds!

Great looking build Silent. Seems a lot of people have had new builds recently, myself included.

Question though. Are you planning on adding another 2 graphics card? That the only reason I can think of as to why you'd need all that power lol.

Great looking system.

But why go for a dual channel kit (2x8 GB) on Socket 2011? A quad channel kit should be the first choice for best performance?
