2x 1 TB Seagate Barracuda's
LG Blu-Ray Burner Lightscribe Drive
EVGA GTX 670 Sig2 FTW (1300 MHz on the core)
Hyper 212 EVO
Rosewill Thor V2 Case
Rosewill 750W PSU
2x Cold Cathode Red lights
Custom Minecraft Mousepad
Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013
Shimian 27" 1440p display
8 GB HyperX RAM
I'm thinking about upgrading a fair amount of components though, such as the Hyper 212 to a Swiftech H220, try and get this chip to 5 GHz, might have to delid it though. After that I kind of want to put my 670 under water, and get another 670 as well to put under water.
It's a fairly nice machine though.

That's a really nice setup, I imagine the temps are pretty good too.
I think you may need more rad surface area though, 360MM for 2x 680's and an OCed 3770k sounds like it might just barely be cutting it.
Mind you I have an old i7 920 and a GTX 260 under water with a 120MM rad and the CPU temps regularly hit 80C on the CPU lol, and the GPU is staying nice and cool at like 45-50C. Kind of reminds me I need to figure that out, and either swap out the rad for a bigger one, or add another rad in.

Oh well you can't really see it in the pictures but I actually have 3 rads a double 140mm up top, a 120mm on the exhaust and a double 120mm on the bottom. That is 640mm of rad space and that is plenty. I use 120mm of rad space for every major component being cooled as a rule of thumb and by that logic since I'm cooling a CPU, 2 GPU's and RAM (not really a major component but I'll count it anyway) I only need 480mm of rad space. With the rad space I have now my 4.6Ghz 3770k temps idle at around 32-35 degrees Celsius and when I game it doesn't ever go over 65 degrees Celsius. I've stress tested it with prime95 100% on all 8 cores and my temps don't go above 75 degrees.

I was going to get the Sandisk one, but I found some results that this one was better, for durability or whatever I don't remember. But I don't care to much about the write speeds.
