My Build Log

Very nice! It must've taken a lot of time to write all that out. Good job.
 
Nice :)

The NeoHE 550W looked really good on paper but it sucks when you get it in the system from what I've heard. And you experience is there to back it up that statement as well. How are you liking the X2 and the GT for gaming?
 
The X2 doesn't have a huge impact on gaming from what I can tell. The 7800 GT does (it's fantastic) and the additional speed of the AMD processor helps out tremendously. I went from a 2.4Ghz intel to the 4200 AMD.
I can max out Far Cry, FEAR and Call of Duty 2 on a 1680x1050 widescreen with no slow-down. Scored a 7250 on 3DMark05 at stock clocking.

The dual core is great though, I do a tonne of work in Visual Studio 2005 SQL Server, IIS and Biztalk and it's a huge help there. No more stuttering whilst the system switches tasks.
 
The only thing I would change is probably the P180, it's quiet and not that expensive but it's very "plasticky". It'll do for now though.
