This IS the boasting board, I know some of you have alot better builds, but this is my first build from scratch, and I thought I did pretty good for a $850 dollar budget, I only spent about $800.

First build from scratch ever, I think I did really good on the cable management, I still gotta tuck away a stray sata cable or two.
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE @ 3.2ghz (My ASUS M5A97 is default set on AUTO mode for "Tweaking", so the bios bumped it upto 3.4ghz, I can OC safely upto 3.7ghz or 3.8ghz)
ASUS M5A97 AM3+ Mobo
Stock CPU Cooler
Cooler Master HAF 922
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA III
XFX ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB
2x4gb of DDR3 G.skill 1600mhz RAM
Corsair TX750w PSU
Runs everything I throw @ it maxed out at atleast 60fps @1080p
BC2 @ 60FPS Max Everything 1080p DX11, It only ever dips like -3 fps, even on the most intensive maps. I think its capped @ 60fps.
MOH @ 60FPS Max Everything 1080p (I think its only DX10), Never goes under 60, capped at 60 if im right.
ArmA2 @ 40-60fps Max Everything 1080p DX10, This game is not very well optimized, im so happy I can run it maxed.
I think i'm ready for BF3
