Good article and benchmark tests. What kind are you running in your new rig again, Gunner?

My new system runs a Core i7 920 overclocked to 3.9Ghz on chilled water for everyday use, I've had it stable at 4.4Ghz, but my chiller never turns off.

What are the rest of your specs (mobo, ram, GPU)? Trying to recall which brands/series you got for your new video card, and mobo...

I'm thinking about building a new rig (later this year possibly). I'll likely need a new one for MW2 if I'm going to play on a big screen. I'm leaning towards the Core i7 and a new flashy Nvidia GeForce GTX 275 (series). Trying to be cost effective by looking at the second/third to best components, instead of flushing Benji's down the toilet just to sport the newest stuff. If you don't mind posting your complete computer specs, I'd appreciate it as a reference.
