My latest DIY project... my new 2012 ultimate desktop computer! Part II

I've been playing with my desktop since I put it together a few weeks ago. Here is the latest Windows Experience Index report I got from it (maximum score is 7.9):


I am not really happy with the performance of my SSD drive. On the other hand the processor (which I overclocked to run at 4.1GHz) the Memory (16GB) and the Graphic Cards are performing okay.

I am enjoying playing with 3 monitors and two graphic cards...

More details to come...

My latest DIY project... my new 2012 ultimate desktop computer!

I finally decided that my 2008 HP desktop needed to retire... or better, take on a lighter work schedule. So instead of buying a new regular desktop, I move ahead and started a new project... building my own computer. You can see on the photo that I diversified buying some of the high end components and some a little bit more cost-effective. I will keep posting my experience and see if the machine will show a good performance.
