I will be installing these parts in a self-made case with stock cooling :( untill I can save up enough for water cooling. However the case has very good airflow from case fans.

PS> I may get the next level of intel cpu

I plan on using this for a while. To provide an example the laptop I am writing on now is 5 years old, so I use my gear till the tech is so dead that is starts smelling. Also if ur still on I will give a list of the gear in a second.

Well if you seriously did not know this already, that rig is crushing. You'll be good for a while, at least. Plus you'll be able to add more ram later if you want with the 64-bit OS.

Well normally during the day I download torrents trying to recover the 250 gigs of music I lost when I was backing up my HDD, then while that is going on I am running google word in 5 other windows, I am playing music in Winamp, have the internet open with like 50 plus tabs, I edit photos off and on, and if I'm not gaming I have my computer folding connected to Colorado state university. and various other things
