Person. I get annoyed when people call others "stupid" for a purchase. No one pitches a fit at the guy driving a porsche around when he could have bought a VW or Audi instead. If i, or whoever else, chooses to buy THE BEST and can afford it, who is to say that its a "stupid" purchase.
relax man,
everyone's entitled to their opinion
whether you ( or anyone else considers it dumb or not)
Your build is sick, no doubt..
If someone wants to say something else it doesn't really matter because you're the lucky
b@st@rd pushing a 30" monitor to it's knees
personally I'm a bang for buck person, as I don't have a lot of money to spend,
anyways,
If i did not have monetary issues I would build this....

that would put anyone out 3k and then plus a nasty water cooling set up would total a good $3800
if only....
NOTE: I choose a 920 over the $1000 i7 965 because I consider it ridiculous to spend another $800 for the same architecture with unlocked features when theoretically speaking overclocking performance from either processor will max out within 100 MHz of each given the same test bench
but that's my strong opinion
others may say otherwise
