New PC - PLEASE HELP

[Farore]

Hi there

Im looking to build a new system based around a Q6600.

This is what I was thinking of using.

Motherboard
Memory getting 4gb of this
Watercooling
Case
Graphics Card

Can anyone please analyse this and suggest some changes?

Is that water cooling kit compatable with that mobo? Is there a better water cooling kit availible for me?

Can I attach both cooling kits to that case? Can you recommend an alternative case?

Is the memory ok for that mobo?

Thanks

Farore

Hello and welcome


I would go for a normal Ultra and get a D-tek Fusion waterblock instead.

Hi

Thanks for the kind responce! I am looking forward to being an active member in the OCUK community!

Could you please elaborate your reasons for doing the above, instead of going for the levithan graphics card which is pre water cooled?

Thanks

Farore

Edit: Would you put that water cooling block on something like this:

Do you know if the watercooling kit above in the OP would work with the motherboard in the OP? Are the diameters of the pipes the same? Will it fit?

And would it be better to buy a seperate watercooling block for the graphics card or use the one provided with the Swifttech kit?

Thanks
