Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I am planning to buy a complete system with the intention of overclocking. Aside from what I'm about to list, I plan to buy a basic water cooling system, something like the Petra's Tech Shop Basic kit (about ~150 dollars.) I plan to mount the radiator within the case, so I am getting a big case.
I'm basically just looking for suggestions on upgrades/downgrades, anything that I'm getting that is a waste of money, something I'm getting where I'm not spending enough money etc etc.
