Looking at buying into a new rig soon-ish. How does this look?

I allready have the rest of the W/C setup, and some HDD's, and a case. My current PSU is a Hiper Type-R MKII 680W.

Slight PSU overkill. but good spec.

Have you thought about getting a modular PSU?

Has enough power for sli GTX460, and four pci-e connectors.

Doesn't really matter is it's modular or not. As long as it can power...

4xHDD's, Swiftech 18W pump, 2x 240mm fans, 1x 140mm fan and 3x 120m, oh, also the above spec.

Also, would it be viable to just purchase a 775 Quaddy and new GPU and PSU, and wait and see what 'sandybridge' brings?

keep it, that will last untill the new tech is released easily.

What speed is the cpu running at?

Maybe for some foundation work, buy the psu and a SSD

4.2Ghz

I have only just bought 2x WD RE2 drives in RAID0 for my OS, so an SSD is not much point. Also I owned one a few months ago, but subsequently sold it, as It wasn't really that much better than my F3. The PSU will be a purchase very soon, more for safety than anything. Also might tuck into a 460 just for DX11.

Keep what you have, buy the psu.
