This is a sorta changed spec ... since the last I switched the mobo to offer a cheap SLi mobo if i decide to get a second card or w/e, found the Ultra kilowatt PSU on misco for only £100 ... which is overkill I know but leaves me the ability to oc, power 2 high end cards, watercooling kit, and never be on 100% load. I've also gone for the E6750 because it's so cheap and can be clocked so much ... I don't need the OS to be included in the budget either.
I recognise I'm ordering from more than one supplier but this is because Ebuyer are cheaper for the bulk of components, Misco are the only UK stockists of the Ultra X3 ... which IMO is a steal for £100, and only specialised watercooling suppliers stock the XSPC X20 kit, which is also a steal at £70 for an all-in CPU watercooling solution ...
Seems a good price to me for a Watercooled system ... is it worth buying an extra VGA block .. costing approx. £15 ... for the 8800GT and including it in the loop? I've heard the coolers are loud on the GT's and am aiming, as you can see, for a nice quiet system when I put it together in the coming months ...
Thoughts?
Cheers
