Not bad, thought about the AMD 7970 and perhaps a different case, the Antec has been around a while, but again this is personal choice.

Comparison between the 580 & 7970:

Yes, i forgot to change the case. Watercooling block for 7970 out soon, so could wait and swap the gtx580.

rodders · 12 Jan 2012 at 20:58

Still cant decide on g/card and whether to watercool or not, decisions decisions.

rodders · 12 Jan 2012 at 22:05

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 ?

the master has spoken

tho I would say if its within budget go for the modular version of the psu(only £7 more) as it'll be a bit easier with the cable management.
