Hi guys,

So continuing with the upgrades to my rig. I have posted a spec me a case thread in the cases section with a few ideas of what I want.

I generally know where I'm going with these upgrades and where I want the final outcome to be.

Currently, I'm in need of a CPU/Mobo/ram/cooler.

The ram I have is the following

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-310-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1390

But my concern is, with 4 sticks this will likely block any cooler I go for?

The only thing I know I do want is the 3570k. What mobo/ram/cooler I'm unsure of. I don't want to crossfire in future and I don't need any special features with regards a motherboard.

I have already looked at the bundles section, but if I can save money doing it myself, I am happy to try overclocking myself. Got to learn some time :D

I know where I want to go, just unsure on the specific parts / bang for buck - any ideas guys?

(If I can save cash anywhere, all the better!)
 
Watercooling...I was thinking about this the other day. Then all of a sudden images of liquid pouring over my rig like a broken dam entered my head...that probably has never happened to anyone but.

I'll have a read up - how does it compare to air the one you've listed?
 
Yeah the cost of swapping out the RAM was one of my concerns. This seems like a good alternative, CLC I guess could save me some money and headache.

Although it's a closed loop, everything breaks eventually right? :p What are the chances of it ever leaking?
 
Ok thanks for the tip hono, I guess I have a choice to make. CLC does with i5 and mobo you suggested does look like the better option.

I don't think I would likely go for a crossfire option in the future...other than the ability to crossfire on the second mobo you recommended, are there any other important differences I should consider? Although baby blue wouldn't be my first choice, for £15 difference I'd prefer to go with the cheaper option.

Looking at the description they both support crossfire? Or am I mistaken
