FS: Higher end gaming rig

Edit: Added some pictures as a guy wanted to buy it, don't worry he seems really shady and I won't give him my baby

Sorry pics aren't of the greatest quality, couldn't figure out why the camera was taking funky pics

Built this a bit over a year ago, added in the SSD, 5870, and PSU over the summer. Computer has been kept in excellent condition, just a bit dusty at the moment

SSD fits about ~2 recent games (aka games with large installs) after a Windows Vista/7 install, 500gb hd is hopefully enough for your media storage needs

Power supply is an excellent unit, great for overclocking or adding in another 5870. Crysis, Fallout 3, Dragon Age, Bad Company 2, Metro 2033...you name it I've played it. I game in 1920x1080 with max ingame settings + anti aliasing and whatever graphics/hires mods I can get my hands on! It's only lagged a tiny bit during the most epic of battle scenes, it's safe to say it can handle anything you throw at it

Overclockers:
Haven't really pushed the rig since I see no need, but CPU hits 3.6ghz @ stock voltage and I've pushed the 5870 to 950/1240. Definitely at least a little more headroom on both! Fwiw the Sapphire 5870 is non reference, hence the voltage can't be adjusted via software

Scythe CPU cooler isn't the greatest, but it's a decent budget option and it's got artic silver on it. GPU/CPU temps are both respectable under stress testing!

Looking for $700 (not incl shipping) or best offer. Preferred payment method would be PayPal, I play online poker for a living and transfer on PokerStars or Full Tilt would also be acceptable!

I will be parting this out in a week or so if I can't find someone to buy the whole thing. If you're interested in a specific part let me know!
I have a 24" Viewsonic VX2433wm that I'd throw in for $90 if you're interested.

I might be interested in the monitor and SSD

Will be putting the rig on ebay tomorrow! Btw shipping from Minneapolis to Los Angeles is about ~$130 if my weight estimate of 20 pounds is correct. I'll be taking it out for some shipping estimates tomorrow

I'd probably be willing to ship internationally, but I think you'd be wasting your money!

SOLD! Got a guy picking it tomorrow or the next day.

I'll post again if somehow the deal falls through
