So today i decided to upgrade my already preposterous rig.
It's current specs are
Case: Xclio 2000 Black
CPU: i7 920 @ 4.2ghz on water
Fan/Heatsink: ZALMAN CNPS10X Extreme
Hard Drive: 2x Seagate Barracuda 1Tb +2x Velociraptor 150gb
RAM: Corsair XMS3 12GB (6x2gb) DDR3-1600
Motherboard: ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer
Video Card: Radeon HD 5970 (h20) + Radeon HD 5850 (h20) + ATI Firestream 9270 (h20)
Sound Card: Some random card i pulled out of my old computer, Turtle Beach, 24bit/96khz.
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 1200w Modular
My planned upgrades are:
Motherboard: ASUS Z8PE-D12 Dual LGA 1366
Processors: Dual Xeon W5580
I will be keeping all my other components.
Some people will ask why i'm doing this. Basically, i've got a lot of money coming my way recently so i decided to build the ultimate machine. These upgrades are gonna cost just under $3,000 =x

I cannot believe how expensive everything you have is.

Since i moved back to the US i've been selling over the border again, and making quite a lot. Like i go up and buy 1oz of Trainwreck for about $225 and then i come down here and sell it for $350+. A QP is only (at the highest) $1.4k, and i can easily sell it for up to $2.k. This is a really dangerous way to live though, two of my friends got arrested a couple weeks ago, and in Croatia i almost got arrested due to stolen ketamine (check my blog).
Also now that i'm out of school i'm bored as hell. I'm looking for jobs at the local universities and research groups because my degree in Anthropology is fairly useless in the current economic climate. So i've been sitting at home, tweaking my system and playing video games. I just decided that since i have so much piled up money (3 or 4k) i'll spend it on my computer over the internet, via my my friend's checking account.
That's a long explanation of a pretty simple process.

just make sure you have apps that actually have support for Dual CPU setups and you really should get a SSD and you might also need new RAM for that mobo
and don't be surprised if you see a downgrade or no performance boost while gaming

Video Card: Radeon HD 5970 (h20) + Radeon HD 5850 (h20) + ATI Firestream 9270 (h20)

What are you talking about brosef?
Max ATI GPU's that can be active is 4. The Firestream 9270 has the same body model as the reference 4890, so 4890 waterblocks fit it. The 5850 Crossfire with the 5970 because the single gpu's in the 5970 apparently run the same as it. [the 5850]I normally pick up my hardware from a shop in town, so it's always available.
What about that is a troll? Elaborate?

yea not the smartest way to make money :o
You should start to save coz you will get caught soon or later if you plan to earn your life that way.

My e-penis is also 25 miles long. That is all.

What can't that computer run? Why in the world would you need to upgrade it?
It just seems like you would be better off saving the money, even if it was to buy a new computer next year using the latest in components. The benefit is so low for upgrading an already stellar rig.

Too much crab mentality in this thread, nice pc gherm.

Basically it's e-peen, I also just enjoy seeing games turned all the way up at massive resolutions .
