But don't dare post a build with sli/xfire and no X79. You will get hazed with shite about why no X79 etc etc
Rightfully so..
1155 Z77/68 s a midrange non-enthusiast socket/chipset. Thing is with Z77 you had great features for OCing that weren't offered with X79.
I plan on buying X99 but my MSI MPower is such an impressive board that I have a hard time buying into any X79 boards. Will just wait until IB-E even though they are rumors that Intel is skipping IB-E and releasing Haswell-E over it in Q3/4 2013.

Blue you alos need to join OCN. I won a contest over there for just reviewing items.
They sent me a Corsair M60 mouse and 4 Corsair AF120 fans. Pretty awesome to get shite for free that you can actually use. They gave away AX1200i PSUs, H100s, FractalDesign cases and all types of shtt. THey are always doing stuff like that, really an awesome community for us PC enthusiast.

Man you guys are still on another level from me. I'm just glad I built 1. 
Hard to think about a year ago I was thinking of selling my ps3 cause I didn't think I would ever game again.

Tom Logan didn't really care for the h220 although he tested it with stock fans only. I understand that it can bridge the gap but if the price point is that high I might rather just do a custom loop. That being said I'm relatively happy with air cooling because of its low maintenance.

Tom logan is worthless as a reviewer.
He is paid by corsair, so of course the H220 is not going to be as good as the h100i.
There are better reviews out there, especially Linus review (and he was also paid by corsair, but he is usuallyalways unbiased)

I have noticed that Tom likes hi corsair products but I've never found him to be very biased. A lot of his concerns were valid. Tubing looks long, it's pretty pricey, and if you were seriously considering wc then you may as well put your own loop together. If it performs as well as other reviewers have tested then it could be a strong competitor with the h100. Linus felt like you got the most out of it with aftermarket fans. By the time you buy a 150 dollar h220 and a couple noctuas you're getting close to a closed loop. It will be a successful product but I am not super interested in sinking more money into cooling to get 7 degrees improvement over my nh d14.

Does anyone use their integrated graphics for anything like running windows and what not? I have everything going through my 7870 and didn't know if it was worth switching some of it to give it a break.

I will get around to it soon. Is it possible to save steam games on multiple drives? My steam application is on my ssd but I want my games on my hdd.

You can now direct what drive and folder you want to install the game in.
You can always use Steam Mover also.
ETA:
Hey man, I probably asked a hundred times but what is your exact build again? Just put it in OP for reference.

I added another game library folder in my preferences but when I started downloading a game it didn't ask.

Put Steam on your HHD and use this to move the games you want to your SSD.

You don't need to use Steam Mover anymore.
Steam has updated its client with this feature, but then again if you already install and just want to move.. then Steam Mover is awesome.

I think that feature is still in beta

I don't think I'm running a BETA version of Steam.

Well it would let me create another game library but not direct the download. When I googled it forums were saying that feature is for the beta version. That's my source, can be wrong.

Positive I'm not running a BETA version. You can direct where you want to download.

Creating a library is just creating a new folder where you want the data installed.
