Spec me a Half Built Gaming Rig.

[JoeF1]

Hey guys.

Going to get back to finishing my Storm Trooper build. Although i need help with a few things.

I have so far:

Case - CM Storm Trooper
MoBo- MSI Z77A-G43 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3
Processor - Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket
8GB Samsung Green (MV-3V4G3D/US) - 8Gb
Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB
Coshair 750w PSU
8800gtx beasty geforce card.

So far in my backet i have:
Another 8gb of Samsung Green
128gb SSD Samsung HDD

Thats it. Im struggling with GFX if im honest. I have had plans to use a AMD card because of the resolution with me having a iMac as a monitor although this is now going to be sold so im stuck on GFX Cards. I have in my head either a 670 or the 7950. Im hoping you can help me on this.

Also the main big question is spec me some water cooling parts. Im wanting a custom rig, so i dont want the H100. I will be buying a block for the said GFX card. So if you could add that in, that would rock. ( This will be my first Watercooling rig).

I think iv covered everything. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for that.

This is my basket which i think will do me. Because im a beginner at watercooling i think im going to leave the GFX card for now.

What do you guys think. Im still torn between the 7970 or a Geforce card??

Would you guys add take anything? prefer to save abit of cash. Let me know if iv missed anything. Thanks.
