I noticed some people may have a mid spec pc like an i5 & a gtx 660ti / amd 7950, but then if if you tally up the watercooling parts and case it's more than the components cost which in my eyes is like the 17 year olds do, buy a £500 fiesta and stick a £600 set of wheels on it lol . Don't get me wrong water cooling may be a lot better but im more than happy knowing it'll never leak just using a half decent air cooler for £35. is there any body else on here isn't so bothered about the whole watercooling idea and expensive cases and prefers to spend the money on the components?

ill sit and await the flaming of how my view is so wrong now haha :p

edit - saying that I think my corsair 300r is quite nice but far from expensive
 
Well I have to say the most expenive bit of my build is my case. It's a Corsir Obiian 800D and cost about £250.

Then my mobo which was about £180. Asus Sabertooth Z77.

My long term build has gone backwards now. Let my son have my chip and rad. Ohh well.
 
I've never watercooled to overclock as I haven't a clue on overclocking to be honest. My water cooler is one of those £70 built in things so probably crap.

Most expensive things in the pc are my SLI GTX 670s, next is my i5 cpu and 2xSSD drives.

I could quite happily live with a single GTX 670 if it wasn't for Skyrim ENBs. I hit 60fps in nearly everything at 1080p, even with hardware AO turned on (which I doubt I could live without now)

the thing that put me way of liquid coolers is 2 things

1. a good air cooler can cool the same
2. the pump in them seems to fail a lot
 
My desktop runs an 8600 with a 2ghz dual core. My laptop is a celeron 2ghz dual core with intel hd graphics..

I don't spend money on PCs.

I don't game. Just browse and d/l films.
 
My case is ancient but does the job. My cooling is budget air but still gives decent performance. Imo it is only worth going under water if you want to extract every last scrap of performance out of your system quietly.

Ps my airflow is good but the wires are untidy :)
 
Monitor is the most expensive single part - but tends to last 3-5 years.

CPU is probably the next most expensive part and tends to last 3-5 years.
Videocard is third and tends to last until the fan dies :/
