water cooling ?

that sort of spec should take you to around 3.2ghz on your e6300 judging from what people with similar kit have managed.

edit: yep the tuniq will fit, but you would be better off with the noctua.
 
Depends on taste, lots of people have it and say its brilliant, I kind of like the understated classy look of the pc7+ (and its aluminium).
Bare in mind that although the antec 900 has a ton of fans, it doesn't neccesarily mean better cooling.
 
yeah true..... would the noctua fit in either of them (more the PC-7) as it is massive i am let to believe

edit - is this the gigabyte board that was mentioned before as there is about 6 of them.. Link

I would assume so, I'm not 100%, you could check the dimensions to see, also plenty of people have them now so someone might tell you.

edit: I think it would fit in the pc7+ looking at the info on the web.
 
Thats the DS3 as opposed to the S3, it will last a bit longer because it has solid capacitors, thats the only difference.

Memory wise the Crucial Ballistix PC-5300. Will overclock very, very well.

Cooler Wise look towards either the Noctua NH-U12F or Tuniq Tower 120. I have a Thermaltake Big Typhoon and its also never really let me down.

PSU - just get the best you can

Case - Look towards something pretty big incase you want to expand.
The Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS is a nice case.

Graphics - 8800gts either 320mb or 640mb. (I would try and go for the 640mb since generally its only around £20-£30 dearer)
 
yeah ok then... think i will get the asus board as i have heard lots of good stuff about asus..

also can't really afford to get that ram or a 640MB GTS
