The future plans for my system

[jacob1995knight]

Hey there peeps, i have just purchased a new gaming rig that is an:
i5 2500K overclocked to 4.7GHZ (INTEL SANDYBRIDGE)
650W PSU
GIGABYTE Z77-D3H (New Z77 Chipset)
Seagate 2TB hard drive, sata 2, 3GB
AMD Radeon HD6670 2GB Graphics
AEROCOOL Strike-X One Case
PATRIOT VIPER V3 RED 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz - Performance/Gaming RAM
HITACHI BLU-RAY COMBO Drive, Blu-Ray Reader & DVDRW In One

The total price of all of these items where £550
I have owned the system for about three days now and are already planning for future things to do to the system, here are some pictures of what i have already done to the case:

So after thinking about it i am going to upgrade the system's:

(everything im buying will come from overclockers)

graphics:

= £150

Also i am going to be upgrading the PSU:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-000-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1497

= £100

Then i will be upgrading the case:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-050-AK&groupid=2362&catid=2276&subcat=

= £90

I will also be buying extra RAM:

= £36

Finally, for the new case i thought about the sound aswell as the looks:

= £14

Also x 6

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-012-AE&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=1816

= £50

So the total price for all of this is = £440, after seeing this i knew that i could go a little bit more, to around £650, so i decided that if i was going to be running this system with all of the items above included i needed decent / amazing cooling, nothing to expensive but still good, so i decided to choose a large shopping list from overclockers:

block

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-065-XS&groupid=962&catid=1519&subcat=2286

= £40

pump

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-104-EK&groupid=962&catid=2141&subcat=2142

= £40

radiator

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-004-BX&groupid=962&catid=1523&subcat=1525

= £36

reservoir

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-242-EK&groupid=962&catid=2133&subcat=2135

= £40

fittings and connections

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-068-OE&groupid=962&catid=1529&subcat=2229

= £25

tubing

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-126-XS&groupid=962&catid=1530&subcat=1548

=£7

fluids

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-001-MH&groupid=962&catid=1531&subcat=2414

= £8

the total price for all of the water cooling was just under £200, so with all of the items above added up it came up to around £640.

tell us what you think, what you would change and what you like.

cheers peeps

mornin peeps, so im going to have a look at the graphics card and the PSU, would you peeps reccomend cooling the graphics and what about the ram, becouse i might be changing to 32GB instead of only 16GB, watercooled ect, apart from that i think its all good, if you spot any problems with the conpatibility then please tell me becouse i dont like to make mistakes.
thanks peeps

I see what you mean Attu90 i could get a SSD i suppose, i am hoping to have around £800 - £1000 in the next four to five months, so really i could do ALL of it , i really do feel that watercooling is necessery (not just becouse it looks good!).
thanks

jake

 

[jacob1995knight]

ok, thanks cammy5477

 

[jacob1995knight]

ok peeps, im going to stick with the corsair PSU becouse it is a well known brand and they have a large amount of reviews.
As for the watercooling, can anyone suggest a good system build (all from overclockers), i dont want anything over £275, this should include:

Round water tank
Decent pump
1155 CPU block
Clear tubing
2 Fan radiator
Decent compresion fittings
Blue UV non conductable liquid

I think that that is all that i am after, i know that if i buy all of these items then i will deffinatly come back here to OC for advice and tips when it comes to fitting the system.
cheers
