Hey guys! This is my first post, and my current build as of today (2/5/2014) is:

 

CPU AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz 8-Core
CPU Cooler Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid
Motherboard MSI 990FXA-GD80 ATX AM3+
Memory Mushkin Blackline 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Storage Samsung 830 Series 128GB 2.5" SSD; Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM
Video Card MSI Radeon HD 7870 2GB
Case Corsair 650D ATX Mid Tower
Case Fan Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition (2-Pack) 62.7 CFM 120mm
Power Supply Rosewill 1000W ATX12V / EPS12V
 
Monitor Asus VH242H 23.6"
Keyboard Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire XT
Mouse SteelSeries Diablo III Wired Laser
Headphones SteelSeries Diablo III 57002
 
Personal Comments:
  1. I don't have any good pictures as of yet. I will take some when I get home and edit this post.
  2. The Power supply is as old as time, and am looking to upgrade it. I don't need the 1000w, and am looking at the ax860i. Also, there are a few cables which are too short and cause me to have some messy cable management.
  3. The Headset is great except for the mic. I have a small apartment and my friends can hear EVERYTHING that's going on in my apartment which is not ideal at all. Sometimes the background sounds drown me out on their end. 
  4. I am looking at eventually painting the whole rig White with blue accents.
  5. My brother does Pin-striping and is going to do some custom work on the window when he's got some free time, and all for the price of a 6-pack! Woo!
  6. My climate isn't ideal for keeping the unit clean. I live in the middle of a desert where a LOT of sand blows into my apartment, so I have to clean a lot more than I used to when I lived deeper in the city.
  7. My monitor has been a loyal friend for many years and am looking to get it a mate. Looking currently at the Acer G246HLAbd.
  8. Every game I've played on this has averaged 50-60fps on Ultra settings with 2x MSAA (I don't see the need to go higher.)

Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions as for upgrades that may make my life that much better.

I would upgrade the cpu to at least a Phenom II, but other than that It looks awesome.

Updated original post with the photos. A little bit dusty, but runs real smoothly!
