Okay so here are the system specs so far:
Intel i7-990X ES @ 4.6 GHz so far.
Silverstone RV02B-W Raven 2 Black Case
OCZ ZX Series 1250W, 104amps on single +12V Rail.
6 GB Perfect Storm RAM, 2000MHz (Gonna upgrade to 2200MHz RAM)
Venomous-X with dual 140mm push/pull fans
Maybe like 3-4 HDD's, 1 SSD
Fan controller, DL DVD Burner, BluRay burner, etc.
Vid cards not sure yet, but atm I'm experimenting with 2 X GTX 295's + a GTX285 for physx, jus to see how the whole thing handles high loads. Until I sell some other inventory I'll be getting like 3 X GTX 580's or 3 6970's or something. Maybe if I come across a sweet deal, I'll get a pair of GTX590's, but that's probably not going to help my margin for profit, since they're too new to find a deal on some used ones. (My hobby is building crazy multi-gpu gaming rigs and reselling).
Currently using a Gigabyte GA X58A-UD5. Have slight clearance issues on bottom GPU / PCI-E slot.
Worth upgrading to a UD9 if I can get it for less than $400 shipped? Any other boards to suggest? Gigabyte G1's? Best bang for buck mobo is what I need for this project.
Right now it's running 4.6GHz solid, hoping for more GHZ, and better clearance for the bottom Vid card.. Also, USB3 and SATA3 necessary.
(Pic shows a Tagan 1300W PSU, but I'll be using that for another build)
And yes, the case is standing at an upright position. Cables plug into the top, which is covered by a plastic housing, which routes the cables towards the back. Vid cards mout vertically, and bottom has 3 X 180mm intake fans.
