I'm sure you guys get a million of these threads. I've gone through the stickies and some of the Q&A's and still have a few questions left.
So I'm building a new rig in the next month and I've decided to go water. I've nailed down the processor (AMD X2 3800+) and the MB (Epox EP-9NPA+Ultra) and within the next 4 months will be adding a beefy x16 graphics card (haven't nailed down which yet), so keep in mind whatever you suggest has to be able to expand for a graphics card later. I have about ~$250-350 budgeted to cooling and case. I'm looking for good performing cooling I want to OC and fold like no tomorrow, however noise is a bit of a factor, I dont want it to be incredibly noisy. I have an extensive tool collection (or if I need to I can pick up whatever else I need) and I can probably do just about anything provided I'm given a general idea of what I'm looking to do. Dont worry about giving me a junkier setup because its easier to assemble.
So what should I go with?
