i like the evga graphics cards since some come with lifetime warranty. cant wait to see this build.

It wouldn't really matter whether you bought EVGA or ASUS cards for the GTX 690. All the vendors have the exact same design for the GTX 690 (Nvidia's reference). It just comes down to whose support team you have to talk to if a card dies. You don't even get any extended warranties or anything included.

EVGA stopped offering lifetime warranties in the summer of 2011. You now get a 3-year warranty with the option to purchase an additional 2 or 7 years (making it a 5- or 10-year warranty). The extended warranty purchase must be made within the first 30 days after purchasing the card.

Yeah, it really sucked when they started doing that. When I bought my 9800 GTX thats why I got it, cause short of lighting it on fire, it was covered. Even overclocking.

Hey Steve, the hell you doing with a measly 64GB? Fill all 128GB up foo! http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?bop=And&Submit=Property&N=100007952%20600006127&IsNodeId=1&PropertyCodeValue=523%3a193115%2c523%3a77777%2c523%3a313788%2c523%3a304574

But in all seriousness, any updates bro?

[meade916]

updates hopefully tomorrow when the tower and watercooling gets here. I could have had this thing built by now but i wanted a better watercooling system then basic off the shelf parts. For that, i had to wait. I will have this thing built and playing in no time once i get everything i need.

[n1ghtsn1p3r]

What watercooling parts are you getting?

Time to get this started!!

Today i bought: another Samsung 840 500gig SSD. So now there is 2 of them.

DISCLAIMER!!! YES I KNOW THE LOGITECH SPEAKERS (PICTURED BELOW) ARE CHEAP ASS JUNK. I BOUGHT THEM JUST SO I COULD HEAR SOUND WHILE TESTING THIS THING. I AM GOING TO HOOK UP SOMETHING PROPER FOR THAT AFTER ITS INSTALLED IN HIS HOUSE!!!

I Did get him some 7.1 suround wireless headset though

[meade916]

The motherboard was about 1/4" longer then the tower would allow......so i had to make some mods. Here i am cutting a notch, trying to make room. DAMN! Slowin a brotha down.

Picked up a 2nd Samsung 840 512....

Some extra storage just in case.
