Hello to all, well its that time again to upgrade my aging system.

The primary use for this system will be gaming. With good overcloking potential.


cpu: i5-3570k 220$ seems like the best bang for the price
cpu fan: looking for watercooled
MB: unknown Needs to support 6 sata drives
memory:unknown looking at 8 to 16 gb
case:unknown Want something roomy
Power supply: With room to grow
GPU: 7770 currently own
CDRW:i can figure this one out
HD: Currently own a few not looking to upgrade yet


Has been a while since i last built myself a system and need some advice.


Thanks in advance.


I also have access to lots of Corsair crucial kinston memory. Corsair thermaltake psu

Thanks for the reply going to review the info. That cpu cooler is massive and not water cooled you recommend it over watercooling ?

Absolutely. Same cooling performance with less hassle and easier installation. No leaks, no problems. If you want water cooling, a custom cooling loop is the best option.
