Right for the last couple of weeks i have be wanted to upgrade and think i have decided now what to get.

I started with a budget of £150 but now will be able to spend around £200.

I was after a new case and cpu cooler and this is what im thinking of going for and would like your input.

Case Lian Li PC-A71F

Cooler ThermoLab Baram

Then i just need to add a couple of fans for the cooler and some thermal paste and hopefully i will be sorted.

Next month i want to upgrade my GPU from a 8800gt to either a 57xx or 58xx card. Still not sure which one tho.

Thanks

Well, the case is a given

As for the cooler, have you thought about getting the Corsair H50 instead, plenty of room for the rad at the rear exhaust.

Yeah ive had a look at them but i think if i was going to go down the watercooler route i would want to do it properly and watercool the GPU etc at the same time.

I know there is a lot more cost involved but think they look awesome.

When are you planning on watercooling yours?

I'll start accumulating the bits over February and should have it in by the beginning of March... hopefully.

Would not mind seeing that just to get some ideas off you.

There does seem to be loads of room inside the Lian Li so would be rude not to watercool it eventually
