The only thing I can tell you to do is go with the Scythe Ninja3 instead: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main...s_id=15095

Don't get that POS "water cooling". If you're going to get water cooling build your own WC circuit instead.

Finally that mobo is good and all but I would switch it up with a Gigabyte (this one is lie $40 cheaper): http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main...s_id=12936

No reason other than I'm a fan of them but ASUS is just as good so if you like that ASUS then keep it.

Right.... forgot about the SLI thing. I'm just quick to jump to Gigabyte because I absolutely love the features they have at the price they offer them at (ie. that mobo I posted is probably just as good as the ASUS and is cheaper except the only problem for you is it doesn't offer SLI).

As for the WC thing, it's good that someone finally has listened to me. Honestly if you get one of those "prebuilt" WC things they're usually crap and high quality air coolers will offer just as good results. The only time when WC actually is good is when you build your own circuit (ie. buying a bunch of Swiftech parts and piecing it together yourself).

Another cooler that might be worth looking into is the Noctua D14 which I will tell you is better than the Ninja3 but the price you pay for one (with only a slight cooling gain) is what puts me off since I personally can't justify paying that much more for one considering the little bit of extra cooling that it would give me. But who knows, maybe you're a rich bitch and can afford that.

Ahhh fine.. actually took my suggestion without insisting that "water cooling" was better.

I know you always have temper tantrums about the whole H50/H70 vs air cooler thing but I just suggest high end air coolers and if the OP doesn't listen to it then they can go see how much better their "water cooling" is. I don't usually care unless it's that time of the month.

Just an aside but; Intel.... are you Asian? I like that user title you got there. Number one on the top 100!

I'm getting slizzered right now lol (not really.... I'm just just having a little bit of warm sake cause I got things to do tomorrow).

Another thing I forgot to comment on was if you were going to get an SSD or not. I know you have a budget and all but would you consider playing around with the parts to make them slightly cheaper maybe and make room for an SSD? Even if you just get a 32GB one and use it as a primary master (boot drive) it's still a good idea and you'll love the access times. It looks like the Vertex2 60GB is on sale for $155 ATM: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main...s_id=14670

The Onyx is really really slow, like half the speed of the Vertex2 so don't get the Onyx (even though it may seem like a deal).
