Hi there, got a budget of around probably £600 to play with but not under any rush. Really fancy a new toy to go with my watercooled 7970's. i7920 has been run at 4ghz since I bought it as an overclocked bundle in November 09. So nearly 4 years and has served me well, but looking for something new and to give bit more oomph to my 7970's.
Specced myself this:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-471-IN
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-150-GL
Which comes to £592 total.
Thoughts?
Also, I don't really want to de-lid so what kind of overclock am I looking at on the cpu - will be under a Raystorm cpu block and have a 240 + 360 rad with Scythe GT's cooling them. Do they get to 5Ghz under water regularly or is that massively over ambitious?
Cheers.
