Hi Friends
I'm just a new comer in computers so i don't know if my machine is good of not according your info.So plz tell me what parts have to better and what i need to get to replace with.Advise

Intel DQ67SW
Core i7 2600 3.40Ghz (Sandy Bridge)
Kingston 16 GB RAM (4x4) 1333 Mhz
Gigabyte GT 640 2GB DDR3-128 bit
Gigabyte Sumo Alpha-Black(2x120mm Stock fans)
Corsair H100i liquid CPU cooler (Hydro Series) (2x120mm Fans)
Corsair VS-550 Power Supply
Cooler master Sickle Flow X 3x120mm Fan (After market)
All Fans are Intakes except 2 top vent radiator fan.(case has a side mash so exhaust is not a big deal)
Question:- what kind of modifications i need to do for better performance.
Note:- Corsair H100i is not compatible with Gigabyte Sumo Alpha case you have to modify a little.
I don't know how to post a Photo here :( :(

The previous guys have made solid contributions to your progress - follow them and you'll be patting yourself in the back :) I would only add to getting a good card for your adobe needs but if your retaining that mobo - the Q67 then getting overclock worthy rams would be a wasted potential and money. Move towards a Z77 board before you get those rams though.

depends on the use - for gaming only the i7 is a bit overkill, as a workhorse it is solid as a rock :D
the graphic card - too weak for everything - the bare minimum for decent gaming should be around GF 650ti or HD 7770 /for work - if you are in the 3d modelling department at at least quadro/.
the cooler - good for great overclocks but, since that CPU is a beast already, you'll be good with h80 - if you want water or h212 if you want air.

so... 3/10 for games, 9/10 for heavy work :D

Not much to do here. I have no idea why did you go to water cooler.
Is that intel mobo good for OC?

Better video card and PSU is good option for you.
GTX 760 is good and fast card. You really do not need bigger psu for one video card.
550w can do the job just fine.

So why not get SSD + Video card?
If you have that much monetthis is maybe best buy.
This is prety desent video card. You OC it to mach GTX 770 or near it.
And it is silent too. Five years warranty is good.

Sandisk Ultra Plus is good SSD cheap and reliable. Fast enough.
256GB is really good price /performance buy. Makes you programs run 10* faster than before. Price is same level as the 128GB samsun pro so you get more room for games and other stuff as well :)

New mobo helps you if you want to OC. Then good buy is Gigabyte Z-77 X-D3H Then you can make most of your cpu Oc and Corsair cooler performance :)

Then PSU. This is good one if you have old psu. Bit morewattage if you want sli in future.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-lightning800
If sli is no go for you then good 550-650w is fine.
This is really good 550w http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr550rm
650w http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr650rm

Look corsair new RM PSU. They look really good. 92% efficiency and fan is not spinning under 40% load. So it is really silent.

Other good psu are Rosewill capstone and XFX. Look what is cheaper where you buy parts.

Post case photo somewhere internet and post link here. Top tin box where you write note is screen there opens url place. There you just put link to your photo. But you need to post it somewhere else first.
Like dropbox or something like that. www.dropbox.com/‎

Yo alpha black - how's it going?

I got your link and came over as soon as I could. Interesting setup you got there but may I ask you a couple of questions?
1| your machine came prebuilt like that right from the store? or did someone build it for you?
2| what was your primary intention for purchasing the above mentioned rig?
3| what dya plan on doing with the machine in teh future?
4| where are you from?

:) hope you can get back to me mate

Thanks for reply mate .hmmmm yeah its for not high end but normal gaming and Adobe Suite work. games like COD,battle field 3, Sniper ghost warrior 2 and and a little racing stuff.
Cooler- Why H80 when i have 100i and still my temps are 22C idle and prime95 torture test 36 hours straight and temp was 52C when i came back home are the temps ok?
Video card- ahhhhh .lol ok i'll get one better then this.
ram the Hyper X is ok?
you said "when the cpu is already the beast then you'll be good with H80 what dose that means i think H100i is way better then h80.Is the liquid cooling is only for overclocks? why not for non overclocks for better temp solutions .by the way i'm not going to overclock anything coz i think i don't need it without any reason. and inside story i don't know how to do that either .hahahaahhahaahahahah:lol:
