hi all new here and thought i share my spec list budget is max £2100 and is all going to be watercooled,i have built a watercooled pc before so not my first one,going for the new i5 chip as this is going to be a gaming pc and nothing else apart from surfing the net ect.i have got an i7 already and want to have a go at watercooling a i5 pc,so i would like you reviews/ideas on this build.i might wait on the new cards and see what the prices are like and see if that can be fitted into my budget or not.

total build price.

£1936

(give or take a few quid.)

the theme will be black and white the build its self is all black and i am adding white tubing and white led fans to set it all off and a uv to inhance the whiteness,trying for a soft light effect if possiable,i know the enermax are really nice and quite,but are very good lighting but bright so still thinking on them at minute.
 
as per others i'd wait, new tech due out fairly soon and with the win7 release i'd go for the ssd's released/updated just after.
 
cheers i did say be waiting on gpu's to arrive not bothered about ssd not worth the price tag at minute for a few secs to be honest,maybe one day im more interested in the watercooling side
