I'm building a computer under 1900 dollars that can last me 2 years. Can someone tell me the things i picked out are good?
q6700
evga 780i mobo Evga 8800gts 512mb x2 G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin 1066 cooler master 750w Thermaltake Armor LCS
western digital 500gb 7200RPM 8MB
DvD burner with lightscribe
vista ultimate 64 bit
I will be over clocking the CPU, the 2 8800gts 512mb, and the 4gb of ram.
Swap the Q6700 with a Q6600 and drop that junk coolermaster power supply in favor of a zalman/seasonic/corsiar power supply, then switch out your hard drive with a seagate 7200.11 and you'll have a real solid build.

If that PSU is the CoolerMaster Real Power PRO 750w model you're good to go there. The Thermaltake Armor LCS has a weakness and thats cooling of the motherboard and other components besides the CPU and GPU. You don't want to neglect making sure you have adequate cooling for ALL your hot components.

So hmmm, you got anything in mind? I really want liquid cooling.
