This thing works great. I use it for gaming and TV/movies mostly.
Pros:
- everything runs super smooth
- windows boots in about 10 seconds
- all of my programs load almost instantly, including outlook, excel, and windows media center
- the ssd makes no stupid click click noise like a normal HD
- I love watching and recording HD tv on my computer
- the case is awesome and keeps everything super cool
- no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the CPU utilization up to 100%
- multitasking like crazy. I can run WMC and play a netflix instant movie streamed onto my big TV in the living room while playing BF2 on my monitor
- six cores + ample overclocking room + good mobo + crossfire capable = somewhat future proof
- this system is very overclockable
- anything else you can think of
Cons:
- I had to pay for it?
- it won't make me a pizza and bring me some beer
- I don't have a blu ray burner yet so I can't copy my netflix movies...yet
- it's not quite up to the top end Intel i7 speeds, but you can't beat the price to performance ratio of the 1090T
- BF2 loads so fast that the server kicks me on every map change due to an erroneous "modified content" error. Then I have to go back and rejoin and I'm still one of the first ones in.
