Notes

This was my first true build. Budget rig that I put together over a month grabbing the good sales. A fun learning experience and hope you like!! *Update* No longer budget. Added a 2nd Maximum Graphics 560Ti for SLI. Updated the 3DMark11 score. Please post any thoughts and +1.

Thanks guys! Maybe I`ll do that but atm I wasn`t too worried about the scores as long as the stock ones were good Paul. Thanks for the tip though. The HAF case is pretty good with the airflow and I did throw on a few more fans so it should be able to keep it cool enough when I do oc it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the +1s and the comments on my rigs! My backplates come in Tuesday. I'm definitely looking forward to those. Anyways, if you're interested in some free 3DMark 11 Points, pick up EVGA Precision and pump up your cards a little bit. You should be able to do +3% with no problems. Maybe start at +2% and work your way up? If you can keep those 1563s breathing, I bet you can break 9,000. See you on the forums!

I probably would have painted the inside flat black but it still looks good the way it is. Nice build Talon5.

LOL Paul. Update: Bought a second maximum Graphics Edition along with Backplates and High Flow Exhaust. New pic above and 3dMark11 score updated. Also will have some free Crysis stuff including the game to give away free. Look for contest in near future in the General section!

+1 I also use that shopping method and it has worked very well for me. I would probably put in a disclaimer that says: 1) Does not guarantee that you won't spend thousands of dollars on computer equipment. 2) May cause anger in your spouse. :)
