That's quite the rig... What do you use that for? I built something similar for work (dual X5660s though) as a hardcore video/rendering rig. I always loved just opening up task manager and looking at all the cores.

No gaming. I'm a software developer so it runs a lot of compilation, scripting and the like. Right now this is a combined workstation/gimp/webbr​owser and serves as server for all the diskless boot machines in the basement.

No task manager, it's running Linux (Debian/stable)

Just started ordering parts for my new computer:

Intel i7 3770
ASrock Extreme6
16gb Ram
180gb SSD Main Drive
32gb Caching SSD
CoolerMaster Storm Enforcer Case
2tb 7200 Sata III HDD

Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated! Also will be adding a 2TB NAS Drive, 16gb more ram and a BlueRay DVD burner later.

i think you need to post picture(s) :P

good stuff!

CoolerMaster HAF 912 case
Asus Sabertooth Z77 board
Corsair Vengeance black series 16GB 2x8
Intel Core i7 3370K quad core
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670
Corsair 80i hydro cooler
1 120GB SSD (OS only)
2x 3TB Seagate Sata's

Let's see -- finally got my parts in and my machine built. Here's the final list:

MB: Asus P8H77-V LE
CPU: Intel i7-3770k (cheaper than the 3770 at Microcenter)
GPU: EVGA GTX 650Ti
PS: Rosewill Capstone 550M
Case: Rosewill R5
Memory: 8GBx2 GSKILL Ripjaws X-Series
HD: Western Digital Black 1TB 7200 RPM Sata 6.0Gb/s
DVD: LITE-ON DVD Burner - Bulk
OS: Windows 7
Monitor: Dell 2312HM
Cooling: Logisys Theta 31 heatsink/fan

Build went smoothly with the exception of the stock Intel cooler. It's the same one I've got on my box at work, but this one seemed extremely loud even at low speeds. I got rid of the stock and bought an inexpensive replacement with a backplate. At the moment the fan seems to be running much more quietly.

I have an AMD and CS6 works pretty well. AMD's good for graphics and Intel's good for multitasking so I think I'd go with AMD.

^what about for Lightroom 4 ?
