Right O,

I currently have a Q6600 system and while it is still capable, i have the urge to upgrade.

I'm going to be using the 650w BeQuiet PSU and 460GTX.

How does this system look -


Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail
(£144.99) £173.99

Asus P8Z68-V GEN3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
(£110.82) £132.98

Corsair Dominator 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C10 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMP16GX3M2A1600C10)
(£83.32) £99.98

Antec Kúhler H2O 920 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366/AM2/AM2+/AM2+/AM3+)
(£70.82) £84.98

Pioneer 24x Internal DVR-S19LBK DVD Rewriter including Labelflash - Retail
(£17.49) £20.99


Total : £514.83


I have an Akasa Eclipse case and i am not sure if it is worth upgrading that too, i'm pretty sure it isn't the most modern case when it comes to cooling.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Andy
 
looks pretty good, but check out the z77 motherboards.

personally i'd keep the case, if it hasn't already got it, might be worth modding the motherboard tray so you have a hole to access the cpu cooler plug holes through it.
 
 
Thanks guys.

Any ideas how i can mount the H100 rad?

Do you just mean just a hole in the backing tray?
 
Don't think you can mount a h100 in an eclipse. Does it have dual 120mm fan spaces on the top or front? if not modify ur drive bays on front :/
 
Don't forget that for 16Gb RAM you need an Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, Home Premium doesn't cut the mustard.

only way to mount the h100 rad would be to either mod the roof or floor of the eclipse, no reason not to seen water cooled eclipses with it done.

yeah just a hole in the backing tray to make access to the cooler easier.
