Do you have this same panel? Its very slightly out of skew on the bottom rear corner but nothing to worry about. I'll be having a look at it later when I have more time.

It is my first build:
Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5
AMD 955 quad core 3.2GHz
Tuniq Tower 120
8GB RAM G.Skill DDR3-1333 2048MB X 4
Corsair HX750
XFX 4770HD
Western Digital Caviar Black 600GB
MSI DVD/Multi
Lian Li case
I assembled it late 2010. Still on the agenda:
Upgrade to Velociraptor HDs
Universal card reader
Dual Blu-Ray Drives
Upgrade to 6770
It has been completely trouble-free, a truly plug & play experience.

This isn't mine, but I thought I would share it with you all, having found it on another forum

So most of the parts for my new rig came, still waiting on the RAM, (arrives Monday). Here's what I settled on:
CPU
- Intel 3770K
Motherboard
- EVGA Z77 FTW (got on sale!)
RAM
- G.Skill 2133MHz - 32GB
Cooling
- NZXT Kraken X60 (closed loop water)
GFX
- EVGA Nvidia GTX 670 - 4GB*
Main SSD
- Samsung 840 Pro - 512GB
Other storage:
- Samsung 830 SSD - 512GB*
- Samsung F1 HDD - 1TB*
- Samsung F1 HDD - 1TB*
- Samsung F1 HDD - 1TB*
Optical
- Some LG DVDRW drive or something*
Sound
- Creative XFi*
PSU
- Corsair HX1000w*
Case:
- Corsair Obsidian 650D
* from old 'puter
Still have to wait until Monday for the RAM but I will post some pics when done. Now we'll see if I can run games at 2650x1600 @ something higher than 40-50fps with everything turned up. I fear I might need another GTX670 and to go SLI. No fancy custom water loops or cable wrapping yet though

Although I built my own rig in a HAF-X case I hadn't seen the Coolermaster Stom Stryker or I might have got it.

Oh man I want! haha can't wait to see some pictures of that beast!
@alostpacket - Looks good! At that res, depending on the game you may need another 670 to get to the graphics settings you want. Really depends on the game. If you need anything or have any questions (and this goes for anyone here), feel free to email me at webmaster@evga.com. Please be sure to address it to me (Rob) as there are 2 of us that view these emails.

Being that I have now picked up an SSD.. I figure that I might as well just upgrade some older pieces at the same time, so with that said - I'll likely be picking up an i7-3770K and an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 or Gigabyte Z77-UD4H board.
Nice rig dude

I want you guys to make the decision for me ASUS Sabertooth Z77 or Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD4H!

What about the ASUS Z77 Formula?

OK the pics! It's not so fancy but it's running like a champ. A few hiccups with the BIOS but now things are good.
Running 4.7 GHz with 35-40c idle and high 60s under load I'm thinking with a bit more voltage I may try for 5GHz The Kraken is AWESOME btw. (even though I totally bolted it to the top of my case in a way it wasn't supposed to go heh.

Which one? There's a few models it seems. Also, a lot of these ASUS Formula models are rather out of my price range. I'm hunting for the aforementioned boards on eBay for a good deal.
BTW, I love the cable management

The one without the fancy extra audio, I got the sense it was kinda useless.
Anywho the Formula is a bit more but only $30 more than the Sabertooth.
Maximus V Formula $270
ASUS Maximus V FORMULA Extended ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com
Sabertooth $240
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com
That Gigabyte is pretty cheap though ($170-180?)
Anyways the Formula is almost the board I got until I saw the EVGA Z77 FTW go on sale at Amazon for $215 (normally $310), the Formula got very good reviews.
Oh lordy.... I hope you're joking with me - I'm so bad at cable management hahahaBTW, I love the cable management
I was excited to even get it like that lol. I've been running it for a week without the sides on the case!

It was my poor effort at /sarcasm. Lol! Seriously though, it isn't as bad as you may think. I'm leaning towards the Gigabyte solely because it blends well with my case, plus the fact that it's a good $40-50 cheaper than the rest.
Just to keep this thread alive I have done a little mod to my GTX 690 graphics card by fitting an EK backplate to it. This is supposed to be used in conjunction with a waterblock but by using different size screws I was able to bodge it. Much better looking than the PCB.
