Building my first PC...

[JDawggS316]

Hey all, I am in the early stages of building my very own PC from scratch. I’m attempting to build the best and most powerful PC that I can afford. So, I need you experts to help me out a little and guide me in the right direction. For research’s sake, let’s just say money isn’t a factor (though it really is in many ways ).

My main area of priority for this PC is, first and foremost, COOLING (i.e., a well cooled machine for overclocking all components)., and POWER. I like gaming and video editing quite a lot.

So, in your opinion, what are the top/best water cooling/TEC kits/systems or components for my above PC description?

budget would be nice, and what would you like to use it for?

well the a
CPU: Core 2 QX6800
VGA: GF 8800GTX
RAM: 4GB DDR 800
HDD: 320GB Seagate( or something else)
PSU: 1000w
MOBO: Asus P5N32-E SLI
All cooling done by Zalaman

Well then I guess start at the top and whittle it down to what you can afford.

MB: eVGA 680i
PSU: Enermax Galaxy 1,000 watt
CPU: Q6700
GPU: eVGA 8800GTX or two if you really want to go nuts on resolution
RAM: Corsair DDR2 800 or higher, low latency (4's or 3's)
HDD1: 2 x WD Raptor 15000 10,000 RPM in RAID 0
HDD2: Big hard drive, WD or Seagate
CASE: Whatever your taste is, but full tower for sure
COOL: I don't liquid cool, so I don't know

Hmm... so you want us to guess,
on the cooling to use,
For a system at best,
Gets as hot as a Fuse.

I think we can help you,
If not for the better,
Get Intel & Geforce,
And stick'um togetter.

Get 4 sticks of RAM,
and 6 big hard drives,
and 2 sets of everything,
That'll win ya the prize.

Now cool it with Typhoon,
or Arctic and Silver,
Use Thermo, or phase change,
or use a refrigerator.

And if when your done,
you have nothing to do,
Give us some specs,
and a budget to use.

Applause!
