Is this set up strong for over clocking with? :) want to maximise the potential off the i5 :)
 
Hey again, i have managed to up my budget too 1500 so can I get an updated basket with a great cooler for OCing with? :)

**edit** also not going to limit myself to the 500r but fancy one of the corsairs unless can get a justifiable reason not to get one :)

The case is a personnal touch, you may want to browse through the link and see what you really like. After all, you are the one who has to live with it. Also take into consideration where it will be situated, so size will be important. Also, check out some video reviews.
 
 
Was also wondering if I would be better water cooling my system (or going through an oc water cooled case) for better performance through over clocking?
