Ok, so taking into account all thats been said, here's a new list:

- GPU - Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2048MB + Water Block
- CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 LGA775 'Wolfdale' + Water Block
- RAM - OCZ 4GB PC2-9200C5 1150MHz Flex II Passive/WaterCooled Dual Channel DDR2
- PSU - Thermaltake ToughPower 850W Modular Power Supply
- HDD(s) - x2 Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB SATA-II(raid0)
- MOBO - DFI DFI-LPUTX48-T2R Intel X48
- CASE - Silverstone Temjin TJ07B-W
- OPTICAL - Asus DRW-2014L1T 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter
- NETWORKING - KillerNIC M1 Gigabit PCI Network Adapter
- OS - Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1
- MOUSE - Razer Lachesis Ice White 4000dpi High Precision Gaming Mouse
- KEYBOARD - Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
- MONITOR - Samsung SM-245T 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor
- SOUND CARD - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty 7.1 Champion Series
- SPEAKERS - GigaWorks S750

All cooled by a custom watercooling kit. Just trying to work on it now, has anyone got any suggestion for what parts to use (pumps rads etc)? Also, is there any reason why I couldn't use 2 rads? What I intend to do is have a Y split directly from the pump, then each one of them splits going through the rad, cooling the graphics and CPU seperatly, the joining back up before they go back to the pump?

Watdya think?

Btw, I commend you for working so hard to get the money. At least you work for it. See ya around.

Thanks for that. Its much appreciated.

Now this is much better, the first one was overkill and a waste of money.

CPU: E8600 or Q9550

Ram: 4GB 1066

mobo: P45 or X48

GPU; HD 4870 or 280 gtx

PSU; 750 corsair or pc power & cooling

maybe 800+ if doing sli or crossfire

My CPU is Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2 Ghz!

I want to increase the Frequency!

But the Problem is that i Don't Have a Cooling system. I Only have the Stock Heat-Sink. I want to Increase to around 2.8- 3 Ghz.. I kinda scared that I'll Overheat Ma CPU! Will there be any problem? Or Which is the Extreme Limit of Overclocking with My stock Heat-Sink?

Thanks!

Your house might catch fire

Then Tell me The Maximum Overclockable Rate!

Every chip is different, at stock cooling you might reach 2.6 or 2.8 maybe less, You'll know you've reached the limit when you see a pretty blue screen saying you effed up :)

Simply as the title suggests, I am building a new PC. I will only label the main components for it as I already have the other peripherals planned.

Here is a list of the main components:

OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit

Motherboard: Nvidia Nforce 680i SLI (Only supports 2-way SLI.)

RAM: OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz SLI-Ready Edition Low Latency Dual Channel DDR2

CPU: Core 2 Duo e6850 3.00GHZ (I will upgrade it when it becomes "outdated")

GPU: 2x BFG GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) (I will be running 2 of these in SLI)

PSU: Corsair HX 1000W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU

HHD: Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache

Soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1 Sound Card


This is going to be my new PC that I'm constructing. How future proof do you think something like this is without any major upgrades? (With the exception of the CPU, which I know my Motherboard can support the Core 2 Extremes.)

Good to go for 5 years? Perhaps more? Please tell me what you think.

Is there any reason as to why you are going with the E6850 instead of the E8400?
