I finished my build today. No hitches at all. I've only played TF2 so far, but I never dropped below 100 on a full server, and that game takes a pretty hard hit on most peoples' machines (8800GT people claiming 20 fps on full...WTF)

Next up is COD4, Crysis, Bioshock, and Arma.

The only gripe I have, and I already knew this going in, is the fact that the 4850 cards idle at 75C...ouch. I'm going to run a fan hack to get that down to the low 50s hopefully.

Other than that, I can't think of a single thing to complain about. All my research seems to have been pretty good. I haven't done a build in close to 4 years so I was kinda shitting my pants about how the performance would be.

I did a modest overclock on the CPU to 3.0 GHz. Temps stay below 35C on full load, so I have a lot of opportunity to overclock more. I did a 3dmark06 run on this current clock speed and got 16,889. Not bad at all.
