First off i'm new the forums although I have been watching Linus for a bit now and really want to get into the PC community. I've had this system since around Nov 2011 but has been through some serious upgrades since then. It is a complete computer but I have a few upgrades planned for the future. 

 

Specs:

CPU: i7 3820 OC'd to 4.2

GPU: Evga GTX 760 Reference

Mobo: Asus x79 Deluxe

Ram: G.skill Ripjaw X 32GB

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i

Drives: Kingston 128GB SSD, 2 - 1TB Seagate HDD's and a 2TB WD Black

Other: X-Fi Titanium Sound Card

Speakers: GX Gaming 5.1 Speaker System

Fans: 4 Bitfenix Spectre Pro 120mm

PSU: Corsair AX1200I (I know overkill)

Case: Corsair Air 540 - black

Lighting: NZXT Hue Green LED's

 

Setup:

Monitors: Asus VE278H 27inch 2ms response

Keyboard: Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2013 (Picture is outdated)

Mouse: Corsair Vengeance M65

Headset: Razer Kraken Pro - Green

Other: PS3 and PS4, yes I do some console gaming don't hate

 

Planned upgrades would be 2 Gigabyte 970's, a bigger boot SSD, and some case mods as in painting and really getting the green theme though the entire build.

Lastly I will attach some pictures of the entire system, let me know what you guys think!

PS. how can I rotate that picture ha

You spent all that money on a system and got a 760? Upgrade that thing asap. :P

Oh Yeah I plan on it. I had an xfx 7970 in there before I got the new mobo and case and was planning on upgrading it but it died on me before I had the money together for the upgrade so I grabbed the 760 to use until I could upgrade so I had some decent to game on.

Okay, that makes more sense.
