OK so, first we have the P9X79 Deluxe with 3-way SLI... yes whats faster than 2-way SLI? 3-Way SLI of course, SSD Caching if needed for fast speed boosts, quad channel memory support, and those fast digi+ power designs. We put a 3930k, no not a 3960X, because its less expensive and allows us to put an extra 580 into tri-sli, FASTER SYSTEM. I think there's a theme to this system, i'll give you a hint, its fast . We then move onto the ram that will most definitely be overclocked to 1866MHz since it's only at 1.5V to start with. Then we move on the LIGHTNING FAST VIDEO CARDS! Three of the fastest single gpu video cards IN THE WORLD. None of this two 590s, since 3 580s will beat down that dual SLI'd 590s so fast... it will go crying for Nvidia. Then we have a Corsair Force Series 3 that can put out 85,000 max IOPS, so fast that you can't even see it since it'll be waiting for you light years away on the other side of the universe. Then we have the 400R with its excellent air cooling ability that flushes that air out so fast that... we'll not too fast as to create air pockets where the air stagnates but, you know what i mean! Then we've got a 1200W Power Supply to cover the Tri-SLI goodness, FAST power consumption, did i mention 3x 580s is faster than 2x590s? Oh i did? k . Then we have an H100 to cool down this goodness and overclock that processor.

WHEN THE POWERS OF A CLOSED WATER COOLING SYSTEM
AND AIR FROM THE FANS COMBINE (along with heart)
THEY MAAAAKKE CAAAAAAPTAIN PLA FAST!
CAPTAIN FAST, HE'S OUR HERO
GONNA TAKE CALC-U-LATIONS DOWN TO ZERO
