Cecil is just getting started
Default New Surround Gaming Rig

Finally had a massive movement of parts tonight (like $750 worth of buying/selling and more to come).
So parts that are settled on or have.

3x ASUS VW266H 1920x1200 LCDs
2x GTX470s (one EVGA one ASUS)
Gig P55A-UD4P
Antec TruePower New 750w PSU
2x2 Gskill ECO 1600 7-8-7-24s or 2x2 Corsair XMS3 1600 7-8-7-20
Cooler Master 690 Advanced II

Parts in lingo or need to get

i5-650 (in talks with someone local to trade my 5770 for it, if not buying i5-750 I think)
Cooling stuff (more below)
Possibly new SSD (Mushkin Calisto Deluxe 60Gb for $160 seems like a killer deal)


For cooling I cant make up my mind. I really want quiet, so I was thinking of running a loop for just the cards off my spare MCR-120. Doing so I could leave my bench setup loop how it is, and when I want to bench 2d put it on there. If I want to cool the CPU I either take apart that loop and put the MCR-320 on the back of my case which would be pretty loud, or pay for another 2x120 rad.
I have a TRUE sitting here for the CPU, and figure for daily use thats plenty.

Any suggestions on what you would do? I do have an extra CPU block coming I could put in the bench loop and put the XT on the i5.

Using MCW-60s for the GPUs with the stock unisink for mem and vregs.

Pics this weekend when its done.
