how's the vengeance ram....is it overclockable?

What would be a good case for myself.....i was looking at the corsair 800d or the coolermaster cosmos 2

Would like to go watercooling big time

Thanks
 
Both cases are verry good. I'm crazy about that Coolermaster Cosmos 2. I think for wather cooling the better is Corsair.

Thanks

I might be getting the vengeance....since it's equal with the dominator and a little cheaper....
If i may ask.....how do you put your pc details up whenever you post....i can't get it right.

Thanks
