I am extremely jealous. I am only rocking a single gtx 460. I can't imagine what BF3 looks like with 580s in SLI. I hope to build a new rig in the spring. My Q6600 @ 3ghz isn't horrible, but I am certainly itching for something more powerful. What kind of case you have that setup in. I imagine those 580s generate some heat. Or are you going to tell me they are water cooled?

My rig
AMD 955be overclocked @ 3.6Ghz
8 gig RAM
MA770T-UD3P mobo
GTX570
2 x 1TB hdd
Lian li K62 case
Ion2 550w psu
27" asus monitor
I built my system back in 09, updated my video card and monitor last year. I was thinking about getting 1050T/1090T cpu but don't think it is worth it. My computer works fine atm so I will wait til it slows down before putting more $$$ into it. Would love an SSD but I can't be bothered reinstalling my OS all over again. My next project will be getting a new TV (I have an old 68cm) and a Xbox 360.
If you are planning to upgrading your PC, I would get a i5 2500K or i7 2600K. You can overclock those babies to 4ghz with the stock cooler easy, and they will beat just about any AMD on the market.
