Crazy_Nate Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Here's my take: I choose 120mm fans over 80mm fans, except in instances where I don't have much choice. Cases are a little too subjective, however, I generally rule out ones without several locations for 120mm fans. No experience with XION, I prefer brands like PCP&C, Corsair, FSP, Seasonic... Often, it is recommended to choose water cooling systems by components, and not the 'in a box' systems (except maybe Petra's kits). If I was building right now, I would take a more current video card, over two older ones in SLI (a single 5870 is about the same price as two GTX 260's) Got any pics?

maj0rgamer Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) would have gone with a corsair power supply, such as this one... but other than that it's a solid looking build Edited October 21, 2009 by Maj0r Gamer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph4n Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 that is a rediculous build.. im struggling to stick within my $2200NZD budget and im only getting the i7 920!!! how much is that rig costing you??? o and have u considered xfiring the 5870 or maybe waiting for the 5870x2?? just a thought Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nns Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Donno much about water-cooling and modding.. A better brand PSU would have been recommended!! 5870 + GTS250 for PhysX would have been awesome!! great build!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIAscEndAncYII Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 some of the parts were pulled from my first build lol im 18 and dont have much money so thats where the crap parts are from. im working on making money tward a new psw and water cooling system. as for the case fans i know 80mm fans blow. i simply use them casue i wanted a all clear case :/ anyways im constantly upgrading but i sold my last buil or i would have better stuff already.... total cost so far is in the range of 2500 with more to come yet lol gross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
