Peripheral Component Interconnect which obviously from the name itself helps connect peripherals/components to your computer

Ya know. If you waited for literally, another week, you would have been able to purchase Intel's next generation chip rather than the Q9550 that you're running. The Intel i7 is a much better processor, but hey I can't be saying much since I got my little X2 with 2GB of RAM hahaha.

That thing should still be blazin' - hope you enjoy it.

IHazSnail, Hope you snagged the XFX GTXs with a good sync/fan. My bro has the PNY build (yes its a little cheaper) but it runs way too hot for comfort.

Other than that, its a $ick build.
