Hi Guys,
Looking at a building a new high end gaming rig.
I have almost decided on the components but had a few questions I thought id put to the guru's that are the ocuk forum members.
Basically I already have a Silvertone Fortress FT01 case had had been looking at adding 2 x EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2 Sig cards along with an i5 3570K, Asus P877-V Mobo and 8 GB Corsair 1600MHZ LP Ram.
I was wondering what your recommendation would be for a CPU cooler, I had looked at this:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-005-BQ&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2340
Firstly I was wondering if it would fit, looking at the height seems it should be ok, but secondly should I consider something else? Could I fit one of those Corsair liquid cooolers for example if they provide better cooling? As I understand it it would take the place of the existing rear 120mm fan
I've always been tempted to have a proper water cooling setup but bearing in mind the case I have would this even be possible? I see OCUK have kits for those too.
I know this is a lot of questions but any insight/ideas would be appreciated.
One last thing if anyone has any comments about my main specs, feel free to comment. I will be gaming at 1920x1200 but wanted some future proofimng and have always wanted to give SLI a try, I also think Titan is a stretch too far for me also considering current prices. I also want to go back to Nvidia.
Thanks.
