As far as water cooling is concerned, every build is different. But IMO Swiftech makes the best products for watercooling. I sent you a PM with what I have but remember it's probably going to be a little different for you on the northbridge chip cooler and the gpu cooler.

Ditch your power supply and go with this one. And look for a different monitor

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136322&cm_re=raptor-_-22-136-322-_-Product
and throw one of thease in there

maybe upgrade the graphics cards to thease http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447&cm_re=radeon_5770-_-14-150-447-_-Product i have 2 of thease and there fantastic

[AcIdC0R3]

Agreed, At the moment Corsair make the best power supplies. Also you should go with at least an 800 to 1000 watt PSU if you're going to water cool your rig.

[SocksWthSandals]

and htomegastriker! lol

would the different brand really make a difference and whats the difference between the 5770 and the r5770 hawk

[SocksWthSandals]

brand dosent really make that big of a difference, but sometimes does. the hawk is msi. they make pretty nice stuff. that card is really big and im not sure how 2 would fit. my friend has one and had to take it back because it wouldnt fit 2 next to each other, or in his case because they are really long

go with either the card i posted, or that msi card you suggested. both are awesome. the core clock is a very tiny bit faster on the msi than the xfx card, but both will be awesome still

The one you picked has only a 2-year warranty and the one Socks picked has a Lifetime warranty.

Since you're shopping NewEgg you should do a comparison on similar items and find the best that you want.

the lifetime warranty only applies if you register your card within 30 days. thankfully i read that and registered both of mine

[iwanaleya]

Good call on the PSU Socks, that was the only real sore thumb I noticed in the list. And the PSU is the one thing you do not want to skimp on!

yea, deffinetly dont want your psu frying with a lifetime warranty and then them telling you "oh yea you had to register it for it to be effective within 30 days" they should automatically do the warranty. or tell you on the page you need to register for the warranty to take effect..... xfx fail

[ghueni whale]

witch do you guys think would be better Radeon HD 6950 2GB or 2 5770s croosfired

[SocksWthSandals]

Read a bunch of reviews and 2 5770s would perform better

[iwanaleya]

Personally I'd lean to unlocking a 6950 to basically getting a 6970. Here's (http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/159) what I've found on it, and it seems pretty well documented. Getting just one and then another later after prices have dropped is what I'm thinking about doing for my next build.

[SocksWthSandals]

yea either will be good. the 6959 is a bit more expensive, either way you cant go wrong

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150518

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.563962&cm_sp=DailyDeal-_-563962-_-Combo this combo pack dosent look too bad. all needs is a graphics card, drive, operating system. not a bad deal for 900

Yeah at least with the 6950 he'd be semi future proofed. That's not too bad a deal I'd want 8g of ram for that price thoughh lol. And I hate to say it but I'm not a huge fan of the Haf series I just don't know why. I like the Cosmos S or the ATCS more. I'm on a case hunt right now to replace my CM690, thinking the Corsair 600t.

[SocksWthSandals]

antec 900 all the way for me. if i could go back in time id order the antec 1200.

eh, yea 8 gigs of ram would be nice with that 3.06 processor..... kind of a slow intel quad core if i do say so. even though its an i7

i only have 4gigs of ram, but i have a 3.2 quad amd which is speedy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103674 idk why its out of stocks or discontinued

Here's (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808) the active link, just looks like new packaging and maybe a different fan/sink. I'm only running a 940BE @3.5 with 4gigs or ram right now as well.

I liked the Antecs they were real damn good for the pricepoint, but my tastes in cases are changing.... I'm getting old LMAO

[SocksWthSandals]

eh i threw out the amd fan and got a katana :) its so badass http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/cpu/041/scktn3000_detail.html

[iwanaleya]

Yeah same here I went with a Black True 120 (http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-true-black-extreme-cpucooler.html) that I got for a killer deal when Xoxide switched owners and it was hard to pass up!

[SocksWthSandals]

maybe ill get that and stick a 120mm fan on it... but i dont think that would fit in my case

[iwanaleya]

It is a little on the big side it fits in my 690 though, but they are only getting bigger anymore it seems. I'm running Yate Loons in a Push/Pull and it works like a charm.

[AcIdC0R3]

@ghueni whale I would go with what Socks recommended HERE (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150518).

I know I told you before that you should go with Swiftech for water cooling but you may have more of a choice on what you can have if you go Koolance. THIS (http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=2021) is a full coverage video block for it.

You may have more luck with finding water blocks by Koolance than Swiftech. They tend to have more to choose from.
