Can I overclock with my current specs? Or will I need better memory and cooling? I use just a psu and fans, will I need water cooling?

You can definatly overclock your rig right now. What are your current temps with that setup right now? Nice setup too by the way.

I'm not sure what my temps are. I'm not home so I can't check =(. I'll check and reply as soon as I get home.

Just wondering, know any good water cooling kits that are affordable?

I just remembered my system temperature and added it to my signature. I still have to check my CPU temperature.

If your air cooling is fine there is no need for water cooling. The reason for water cooling most of the time is for sound. Since its so quiet. Or most of the time it is. Most people dont buy watercooling kits though either. They do a DIY water cooled kit. Visit the cooling section for more info. The ideal range for ocing is idle in the 30's C and load in high 30's low 40's.

I don't really suggest getting water cooling kits. You would be much better off buying sperate parts. Buying a cheap water cooling kit would probally not make cooling any better.
