Hey,
I wanted to share my gaming build with you guys.
My Specs:
i2500K not overclocked but undervolted @Megahalem (1x Scythe Sliptstream @5V (or 7V can't remember actually))
Asus P8P67
2x 4Gb Mushkin Ram
Sparkle Calibre X580 (modded the bios so the fan is not audible)
Asus Xonar D1
2x Intel X-25M 80Gb SSD
Seasonic X650W

As you can see I only run 2 fans total. 1 as CPU fan and 1 case fan. Both are Scythe Slipstream @5V (maybe the CPU fan runs at 7V but I can't remember atm). The GTX580 is awesome after I modded the bios. It wouldn't run below 60% fan speed as factory standard. I have set it to 20% which is below the buzz noise of my 2x Dell 27" monitors. I also removed the front door from the case and cut out all the fan grills. In the near future I'll replace the 2x SSDs with 1 larger so I can get rid of some cables.
Overall I rly like it since there is more than enough power to power my monitors and play on highest details. I would rly like a motherboard with a good built in soundcard so I can save some space but apparently there are none.
