How many posts are your going to create about this build? I count 5 just on the first page of the forum. You'll get more help by not abusing the system and just letting people reply to previous threads.

They're all different build request. If you actually took the time to look at each one, you would know that. Now please, stop badgering me about the posts I make.

I did actually read your posts. I even posted a build in one of your threads. That's why I started wondering why I kept reading the exact thing in multiple threads. I guess I'll just have to quote you to drive the point home.

The only difference in the posts is the title. What are you actually trying to perform here? Are you looking at different builds at different price points?

your telling use that all of these builds are different

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] build-2000
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] -1500-2500
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] -1000-1200
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] icro-build

Didn't realize it came out that much. ha.

But yes, I am trying to see what builds would be better suited for the money.

which would be much easier if it was all in one page would it not?

I'm looking to watercool myself, and, unlike you have done the research.
For any watercooling rig, add about $250-$300 for a basic cpu only rig
another $200 minimum to add in a single GPU.
so a full system with one GPU is at least $500, more if you want it to cool better than a high end air system
WAAAY more if you want to cool more than one GPU.
