I actually did pay too much for that 920 :/ but that was a few years ago just days after the launch I jumped on it. Paired well with the Foxconn Flaming Blade I used to have. But that little guy has been a trooper all these years and this is the 3rd build it's been in.
My current machine is an i7-920, but just has a standard 7200rpm HDD and a Radeon 5770. I was thinking about an upgrade almost exactly like this (gtx 760 + ssd) to make it useful for some gaming a while longer. 920 holds up alright I take it?
I love my 920 I've had it for 6 years and still going. It has outlasted 2 motherboards and I ended up giving it to a friend and she games on it daily. Still plays all the newest titles without any problems. I'd say if you keep it cool and don't go too crazy on your overclocking you are set for a couple more years. Just keep in mind it's still only a 1st gen i7 processor. If you were to buy one today you'd be better off getting an ivy bridge or haswell i5 for better performance for the same price.
