Current Build (images in link - sorry if blurry, I took them during the evening with too little light exposure)
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k overclocked @4.5GHz
CPU cooler: Gelid Tranquilo v2
RAM: 2x 4GB Kingston HyperX Blue DDR3 @1333MHz
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65
GPU: Sapphire R9 290 overlocked @1075(core)/5600(memory)
Storage: Crucial M500 (boot drive) 250GB, Crucial BX100 250GB (secondary SSD), WD Blue 560GB (HDD)
Power Supply: Cooler Master V650
Case: Corsair Carbide 500r
Right now I'm looking to upgrade my CPU cooler to the Dark Rock Pro 3. Besides that I'm waiting for Intel Skylake to launch before making new upgrades.I might get this case in the meanwhile though... it's so good
The Specs I Wish I Had
CPU: Intel i7-4790K
RAM: Hyper X Predator 16GB DDR4 Ram
Motherboard: ASUS X99-PRO ATX
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 980
Storage: 1TB WD Black
Power Supply: Antec TruePower 750W
Case: Antec Nine Hundred, or Fractal Design Define R5
Wait what, you don't even want an SSD in a rig that's already so powerful?
Also, the Antec Nine Hundred is a really poor case. I owned it. Right now you can get so much better in literally every aspect (looks, cooling, silence, spaciousness etc).
Your motherboard and CPU in that setup aren't even compatible as well.

It's not that I wouldn't want a SSD, I just didn't think about it.
I know someone that owned it, and they really liked it. That's why I posted that, but I think the Fractal would be higher on my pick list for cases.
I think I might have posted something wrong.

Short Term Goals: Silver/Gold/Platinum || Long Term Goals: Diamond/Master/Challenger

CPU: i5 4670k at 4ghz ->
Whatever the next mainstream unlocked i7
CPU cooler: Cooler master 212 evo ->
Noctua NH-D14
RAM: 2x 2GB Kingston HyperX Blue DDR3 @1333MHz ->
8-16 gbs of one of the mainstream rams (hyperx, corsair, g.skill, crucial, etc.)
Motherboard: Sabertooth z87 (sexy as ****) ->
Another Sabertooth
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 ->
AMD 395? or 390, could go with a 980 or the next "80"
Storage: WD 500gb HDD ->
Samsung 850 pro 500gb/1000gb
Power Supply: Antec HCG 750m ->
Seasonic something
Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D ->
Would love a sexy Silverstone but alas they can't fit a Sabertooth so I guess another Corsair or Fractal
