My setup, which I'm very happy with You can see my Xbox/PVR/TV setup in the middle, my gaming laptop which I restored to factory settings and have yet to find a use for, and on the right, my gaming PC! In this post I'll include everything you see in the picture (minus the furniture) and estimated prices.

Overall Setup
Overall Setup2

PC Accessories/Xbox stuff:
Razer Deathadder
Coolermaster Quickfire Rapid kb
Logitech Z623 Speakers
AOC 23" IPS/LED monitor
Yeti Mic + pop filter
SteelSeries Siberia v2 PC Headset
Xbox 360 w/250GB HDD
Hauppauge HDPVR
Triton AX720 Xbox Headset
Asus G73Jw Gaming Laptop (currently unused)
Xbox One

My Custom Built Gaming/Content creating BEAST!
Pic of inside w/blinding blue ricer fans (will explain)
I like my intake fans on the outside..where they'll fit
I shoved my phone into my case and hoped to capture some hardware, I had about zero hand clearance. I couldn't remove the other side panel because I'd rip out the front panel connectors, here it is.
Call me an airflow fan boy.

Full Spec:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Bitfenix Prodigy - White
Intel SB i7 2700k @4.4GHz w/Noctua NH-D14 (x1 120mm, x1 140mm)
Asus P8z77-i
Corsair XMS3 16GB RAM @1600MHz Corsair sticks failed 2015; GSkill 2x8GB Ares 1600
EVGA GTX 570 Fermi EVGA GTX 590Retired the historic 590 for a new Asus GTX 970
Crucial 512GB SSD (boot)
x2 500GB WD Velociraptor HDDs in Raid 0 (931GB usable for recording gameplay)
Standard Asus ODD
Corsair RM 650w Fully Modular PSU (RM = quieter edition)
NOTE: This PSU fit after it put up a fight, make sure your selected PSU fits if you go with the Prodigy!

The Corsair PSU failed on me after a couple months, how pathetic. Now running off of an awesome
BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 650w

Old GTX 590 needed lots of fans. I opted for the reference style cooler on my new GTX 970 for the sake of heat being exhausted out of the case.

If anyone wants to know anything I didn't include, shoot me a PM.

I have a lot of fans due to the small environment. The Bitfenix Prodigy case isn't exactly a member of Coolermaster's HAF series.. SO I chose to improvise by adding fans moving air in a backwards L shape (in the top, out the left side). When I only had the 2 heatsink fans and 2 stock fans running, there was a lot of still hot air in the front of my case, which I didn't particularly feel comfortable with. The hot air came mostly from my Velociraptor HDDs and the meh cooling on my GTX 570 exhausting air in every which direction. This is one case (as in my Prodigy) where getting a card with a reference style cooler isn't a bad idea.

Say what you want about the fermi, it was a free gift from a friend for whom I did a lot in regard to helping him build his first PC and maintain it as well as upgrade some components. Say what you like, a free graphics card that can still perform very well isn't something I'd turn down.
