I am staying away from the offers I'm buying on finance and I've heard you can't have offers with that. That case I feel is nice buy I am hoping i can ring up and change it to the white version because lets face it, it looks amazing!.

I would get the RV2 but I really want water-cooling and don't trust myself enough to be able to do it on my own.

What do you think?

:O Okay time to go buy things on offer now and save me some £ :D.

Also can anyone spec me the best motherboard for around that price, I don't have a lot of knowledge of the up to date motherboards.

Thats is a really nice build but if I go water-cooled I want to go with the V8 as then I can make the pipes glow Blue and make it look amazing. If I don't then I would just buy the Noctua for air cooling as I don't think the performance of the H80 is any better for the price.
 
Only u can decide on the finate spec of your pc, the 2500k will reach 4.6ghz easily on air with a decent cpu cooler and may hit 5ghz watercooled.

4.6 would be enough for me I wouldn't want to damage the chip. Can you get 5ghz stable with respectable voltages?
