New High end Gaming build Advise

samba987 · 20 Apr 2011 at 20:21

Ok I've finally decided to ditch my current Gaming Pc and build a new one with water cooling. This is what I've come up with...

I've already got a case (Cosmos s) and I've already brought windows 7.

Can anyone see any problems? Or any bottlenecks? or Improves I can make?

And this will be my first water-cool build, so are all the water-cooling parts compatible?

Also is a black Ice GTX360 with 6 Akasa Apache fans enough to cool the CPU and GPU?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Two spinning disk hard drives in RAID0 for quicker access. Done that for my build.

Oh and 16GB of ram for gaming? :eek:

If you can wait until around the 27th swap the C300 for the faster M4 for a extra £20.

You need to change your tubing and fittings from 3/8" ID to 1/2" ID to match the pump.

Gaming = 2500K CPU.

There's video editing and there's video editing. Try editing 1080P ProRes 4444 on those laptops or your computer and then we will talk.

Never mind 4k! :eek:
