Specs? If you don't mind.. how did the build go? What kind of case are you using? i'm hoping to upgrade from a mid tower to a full tower just for the openness and freedom inside (removing, replacing hardware, airflow, wire organization etc...)
Processor: Intel i7 2600k 3.4 GHz
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 2 GB

Cooler Master - Storm Scout
CPU Fan: I ended up going a little over budget so I just have the stock CPU fan at the moment but I'm looking at one of these
ZALMAN CNPS9900A
I think the build went pretty smooth for my first time took about 2 1/2 hours the only problem during assembly was that I didn't have a magnetic screwdriver and 1 screw was in a hard to reach spot. (ended up taking a half hour getting this one freaking screw in

) Then I had a stupid little thing I overlooked while buying parts, I got a HDMI cable to connect to the monitor but the graphics card only has MINI HDMI port and a DVI port so ended up running around town looking for an adapter before finding one at radio shack. I really like the case but it could use a little more room on the backside of the motherboard and couple more spots for the cables to go through.
Overall I'm very happy with and now that I got a little time in with BF3 I love how well it runs with all the settings on high and the framerate averaging around 60 and never dropped below 50 even with fraps on.
