forget that 1010W psu, Get a 850W Corsair, 8GB is overkill, but leave that alone...might i recommend mushkin instead £80 from aria.uk.

Go with the Corsair H50 or H70 if you really want to watercool...if not then get a Titan Fenrir Evo, will be a good cooler for medium sized OC.

If your getting a SSD get a 64GB just in case.

thanks for the reply, it is real good info but i was talking to a man who overclock and he said that you can't overclock without cool water so that is why i want it, if you can overclock with air i would like it better. For the powersupply i am getting a second 6970 so i was told min of 1000 wats, and i have looking at a second ssd and was thinking of run them in raid 0.

You can overclock with air just get a noctua nh-d14 with some mushkin ram and your good to go. If you wanna go liquid cooled a 360 should be enough for your gpu and cpu. IMHO dont buy a h50 or a h70 its just POS for the price and by everyone (well mostly) opinion round here and i own a h50. Dont run ssd's in raid it will disable TRIM which will increase collection youll see performance decrease drastically in months and for the psu get the ax1200 or hx 1000 by corsair. Both solid psu's.

850W corsair will run two 6970, no problem for it. Are you going to cool your GPUs with water? If not a noctua NH D14 will do the job if you want a 360 rad that is something else but don’t buy premade kits they are horrible.

I am sorry i did not get this info when i was buy the hardware , i am liking the air cooling i have room for 2 in takes in the bottom and 1 in the front panel and Exhaust 1 in the back and 1 in the top all esle fans are 240 mm 1000 rpm is that overkill are .... , and if i use air cooling will the Graphic cards run at different temp.

In that case the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Really annoys me when people like that give out 'advice' like that.

Pathetic
