Custom PCs
 
Anyone here do any type of custom PC builds? Gaming, workstations, anything?
I've been interested in them for a while, and after landing a job working for a high-end custom PC company, I finally got around to building my own.

I use her for gaming, Android development, film editing, photo editing, and digital design.

I cleaned up that wiring after installing my i5-3570K and the Freezer 13 cooler.

I've got a fairly old build, coming up on four years old. It was a fairly cheap build. Initially it costed under $500, but I skimped out on the cooling so that added probably another $60 in fans, heatsinks, and fan speed controls. Considering its age, I'm considering building a new computer in the future, but this'll do for now.

Case: Gigabyte somethingsomething
CPU: AMD 6000+ Dual Core 3.0GHz
Mobo: ECS A780GM-A Ultra
RAM: OCZ DDR2 800
GPU: nVidia 9800GT 512MB
PSU: 430W Thermaltake
HDD: 320GB
Optical Drive: DVD/CD burner
Fans: 120mm Gelid in the front, 120mm case fan in the back, 80mm Gelid side fan, 120mm Xigmatek attached to the GPU heatsink.

How are you finding the graphics performance while doing video and photo-manipulation on an integrated video card?
