Best Silent case / Water cooling system

If your not to worried about the space your computer hardware will take up then i suggest taking a look at the U2-UFO Case's there designed for a watercooling setup's. Quite pricey you're looking at anything from £200 to - £280 top spec but there worth every penny. The place where i brought mine gave you the options of what side panels you wanted and what colour you wanted the case to be sprayed. There isnt a better case out there in my opinion, specialy if your after a watercvooling setup. They looks nice as well, check around the web for more info and images.

These compontents are designed to be overclocked, particularly the RAM and CPU. This is like buying a Ferrari with a 70mph limiter on it! If you are not going to overclock, then there is little point in going with DDR3 - much less at that speed. You are going to be throwing away something like £500-£900 this way.
Seriously - if you can be bothered to install a water cooling kit, you should be looking to overclock this CPU at 4Ghz without any trouble at all.

PS. What monitor/screen are you going to run this on?

In my post I wrote "I will be O.C QX9650 3Ghz to 4.5Ghz so will need to be as cool and quiet as possible"

So I will consider OC the machine I do plan on doing a full leak test before anything goes near my mobo or chips etc

Not sure about monitors two 25" possibly despite flat screen monitors making a huge difference to the overall footprint the width of two monitors can still be a problem

It's a tough one isn't it. While the price of larger monitors is dropping, we still don't have decent cards to play at higher resolutions, the main issue being graphics memory. Hopefully this will change soon when the next release of cards (looking to be AMD/ATI at the moment) will have 1Gb of memory. If these are as good as some of the rumours claim to be - then maybe a 30" job is best for you? Or do you actually need to have split screen for your intended use?

Edit: Just thought, with the quad core CPU, I'd personally have a separate loop for the CPU and another for the GPU and motherboard chipset.
