well i have about 950 to spend on a new rig. it needs to b fairly future proof for say about 1.5 years but i also need a monitor, mouse and keyboard.
i have win 7 so i dont need an os.

i will use it mainly for gaming and day-to-day uses like web browsing, word processing etc.

thanks for helping / raikesi

would i need to buy any more fans with that? i no it has one in the front but would i need anymore? also, what about a cpu cooler? i will probably be overclocking the 955.
 
Can't go wrong with that case. For that price it dominates that area.

And in answer to your question you probably would need a CPU cooler to overclock your CPU
 
Best, most expensive (£67): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-011-NC

Almost as good, mid price (£41): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-005-PL&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395

Quite competent, the best value for money here BUT won't compete with the above two coolers (£17): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-035-AR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395

There are of course plenty of alternatives, I'm only really looking at air coolers (However the Corsair H50-1 and H70 are quiet, effective complete closed loop water cooling options) Their cooling ability is arguably similiar to the Prolimatech Megahalems.

One last further option worth considering is the Thermalright Silver Arrow. It doesn't appear to be stocked by OCUk yet but no doubt they will be getting some. Google it and you will find some reviews. In the reviews I saw it is now the leading CPU air cooler available even beating the superb cooling ability of the DH14 (It's also about £10 cheaper than the Megahalems)
