Was thinking if this, always wanted water cooling and SLI.
Just for gaming. SLI and monitor are exspensive, but worth it I think.

yea, I wasn't sure on the mouse, I had a razer last time, 3600 dpi, so thought 5700dpi can only be better?
Headset, never had one, 5.1 seemed good, don't know if its very noticeable or not?
 
hmmm, thinking of not getting the custom water cooling, build similar and put on an Antec H20 cooler.

so many ways to spend 2k!!
 
I was planning on own build till I saw the above PC with water cooling, but was its only the CPU im swinging back to build myself, with perhaps a clocked bundle to guarantee a high clock.
 
hmm, seems just as exspensive.

Yes, I need everything, except a chair, lol

Ok, open to suggestions here.

I like the monitor I have selected, must have SSD and storage drive. I would like SLI. I think thats my main requirements.
 
Now thinking this monitor, same width, lot cheaper. Not much advantage with 1200 instead of 1080p in gaming?

Dell UltraSharp U2312HM 23" Widescreen LED Monitor - Midnight Grey
 
Thanks for the builds :-) always nice to see other peoples ideas.

Clocking is not a problem, dont it before on a few PC's.

Trying to find a comparisons between 7970 and 560 sli'd, but AnandTech dont do 2011 and 2012 together.
 
I was thinking of changing the monitor to a dell 23" 1080p ultrasharp and maybe 1 x 570GTX and water cooling the whole thing.
I know its a drop in GPU performace, but could SLi later on.

Think this will do now? Dont know if custom water cooling for CPU and GPU is actually required, more just for me to mess around with, but not needed. Just going with maintenance free CPU water cooler.
I take it the VTX 7970 is good ?
