Just had a look on special tech and with the conversion rate your water cooling budget is about $500 too low if you want a top kitmarkop2003

WOW thats a lot. Think i should get cheaper RAM?

hmm about $3300 AUD if not a little more

its a great upgrade for me and well worth it, since the PC im using at the moment was made in 2002

its specs are:

pentium 4 3.2 GHz

1GB RAM

nvidia geforce FX5200

120GB HDD (very pathetic)

my current system is very laughable

Get two smaller drives and RAID0 them for better performance. Remember that you have pick out the specific parts for your water cooling also you need to pick out specific parts ie don't just say an "850w PSU" give a specific model (not all 850w PSUs are the same).markop2003

what model of the PSU would you recommend?
