The build

Came from an AMD system, very impressed so far. These are older pics, have 2 Silverstone case fans on the way, one 80mm, and one 120mm.. Last build was 2 years ago, AMD FX-55, X1950Pro, 2 X 1gig DDR400, WD 160gig PATA, Asus A8R MX/DP mobo....still turns and burns as my backup XP system for when Vista pisses me off.

It's a lot like the system I would buy now if I had the money. I am wondering why you chose that ram. I say that because I know some G-Skill chips are D9's which are good, but I thought it came on the ram with the black heatspreaders.

eh, this is the cheap stuff, 5-5-5-15 2T timings (horrible i know), money wasnt there to buy the OCZ plat rev2 ram with 4-4-4-12 timings, that is also in the works.... this ram oc's okay i guess, but for now it plays all my games (LOTRO, Flight Sim X, Sup. Commander) pretty well.

Really nice setup, Isnt that Zalman the nForce edition for AMD? Did you mod it to fit in 775?
6/10 for me, I dont like the looks of that Gigabyte mobo, it looks kinda cheap and colors arent the right ones for an enthusiast plataform
