So here are the final specs of my new PC. They don’t match the original specs because some parts turned out to have a long wait on them, and I was happy to replace them with in-stock parts of a similar ilk.

CPU: Intel Core i7 920
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7
RAM: Corsair 6GB Kit (3x2GB)
Video: PowerColor Radeon HD5770
HDD1: Western Digital 150GB, VelociRaptor
HDD2: Western Digital 1TB, Caviar Green
DVD: Pioneer DVR-218LBK
Case: Antec P183 Performance One
PSU: Cooler Master RS650-PCARE3
TV Tuner: Compro VideoMate Vista E700

… and the whole thing’s running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium x64.

Here’s a screenshot of my Windows Experience Index. I’m not sure why my “Aero” graphics performance index is so low when the gaming graphics index is so high, but I do know that the hard drive index would be much higher if I was running a solid state disk, which is an upgrade I intend on doing this year some time:

And finally, just for kicks, here’s a screen clipping of my task manager. I love seeing eight CPU graphs! :)
