thanks in advance!
 
much better cooling,save money, easy to fit, and silent :)
less noise is what you will need with all those case fans
also a good way to get into watercooling
 
if you read all the other spec me, everybody is recommending the f3, me personally i cant explain, but reviews and personal preference say the f3 is fastre
 
i would get the f3 and h50 personally.

but it's up to you what you want and do but people on here recommend stuff because of reviews and personal use of said product's.
 
OP, looks pretty good to me.


4890 should do for anything you care to run for a while - a little later you might want to buy another for dual card rig. Alternatively see what Nvidia and ATI come up with in the next 6 months or so. Don't be too quick to buy into new technology. The new crop of ATI cards look good but what DX11 games are available now? Let someone else do all the debugging. then buy into the next generation, maybe.

Never save money on a case - get the one you really want. You will be looking at it day in and day out for years to come. Since a case can last up to 10 years it becomes one of the cheapest components of your system whatever you pay for it.

Think VERY carefully about whether to go h50 and water cooling. When I looked at it, the thing only had a two year warranty. Do yoy want to run it for more than two years? Do you want the constant worry about cpu cooler component failure and leakage. Water and electricity don't mix! If you run a car think about leaky seals and pump failures and gaskets going. Then translate that experience into a PC.

The only drive failure I ever had at home was a samsung. Lots of people are unhappy with Samsung. When Samsungs are working properly they are fast and quiet and quite cheap though.

Know why you chose those components in the first place and don't be afraid to stick to your guns. It is not a case of good and bad components, it is a case of excellent components and slightly more/less suitable components.

This needs reiterating I think. The H50 is a good cooler, no doubt. However, it only really performs as well as the best air coolers. That being said, if you factor in the risk of possible failures (leak, pump etc.) compared to a standard air cooler (virtually failure-proof) then it does not look like such an attractive proposition.

Why take the risk?

it's a bit like us lot on here not taking our pc's apart and upgrading ourselves and getting a professional to do it.

we take the risk every time we undo the thumbscrews on the back of the case.

im just about to get a h50 as they have good reviews and easy to install.

that is your personal view, its the same risk as buying components and building the machine yourself, or not wearing a static band. Its very rare something like that will happen and the hard drive failure is just unlucky, it happens

True, however just recently at the time I was buying a load of hard drives I found it very easy to find a lot of people anecdotally moaning about Samsungs, but didn't find as many complaining about some other brands like Western Digital. There is luck, and there is poor product. Remember the Hitachi "Deathstar" fiasco.

As a consumer it is necessary to do one's own research and have the confidence to stand by one's conclusions - even if endless people repeatedly restate conventional web wisdom in one's face :)

thanks for the reply, i am probably going to go for the 4890 and use it for up to a year, until the price goes down on direct x11 cards.
