you need to watch for the overclockers bargain weeks… otherwise yes, i find them a bit pricey

I wouldn’t go for watercooling mate, the benefits aren’t worth the price. I bought a new PC with a full custom watercooling kit with the very top components. I bought a waterblock for the CPU (quad core Q6600) and one for my graphics card (8800 GTX). I ran it through a dual thermochill rad (best radiator) and got a decent overclock. To get a stable OC to 4GHZ, I had to buy fans for my RAM as I had to raise the FSB up a fair bit and I only managed a 10-15% overclock on my graphics card. The system was anythhing but quiet.

Not only that, when it came time to upgrade the graphics card, I struggled to sell it as it’s tough to re-attach the stock heatsink and fan, not only that, you must re-design the water loop if you are taking a component out, or buy an older graphics card that has a waterblock designed for it if you want to put it back in the loop. If you decide to go watercooling route though mate, give me a shout and I’ll help you get the best kit.

Also, if it’s a gaming PC, pick up the best GFX card money can buy, then design the system around that. I’d rather have a 480GTX with 6GB ram and a low range core i7 than a 460 anything with 12GB RAM, high range core i7 and an SSD.
