Case - no good... look at lian li, silverstone, antec. Suppose it is personal choice, but you did ask

CPU waterblock - no good. (they make awful w/c parts) Try swiftech, fuzion...

Everything else looks pretty damn good :)
 
Also - forgive my bluntness, I'm about to leave work, rushing - you need a pump, reservoir, radiator, tubing, fluid and barbs and a grill to watercool. Oh and fans.

Thermochill make the best radiators... tbc
 
ok thanks

can u or anyone recommend the pc case and the water cooling kit to use also i plan to add another GTX later down the track and i want to water cool both of them
 
oh ok so the motherboard does not support 2 graphics cards... what motherboard is good for overclocking and supports sli

thanks
 
Personally I wouldn't bother with SLI if I were you. When the next gen nVidia and ATI cards are out you'll be wanting one of them (take it from me).

But if ya want SLI then Abit IN9 32x Max/Asus Striker Extreme/EVGA 680i SLI
 
Sorry a bit off topic; Kempez, how good is the EVGA 680i SLI? My bro just got one out of the blue with a quad core.

The best mobo by FAR for quad is the p5k. 680i's are OK for OC'in the quad.

I'm confused!??

abit ip35 pro = p35.

asus p5k = p35.

Lots of people are using the asus due to the p5b legacy - awesome clocker.

Not seen any ip35 quad results BUT it is p35 chipset so SHOULD be same/similar to p5k.

I think abit make awesome mobos
 
i missed out 2 words for some reason...

Same chipsets often yield similar results, but there's a lot more determining factors that can put one ahead of the other by a long shot.
