Upgrading a kit.

I "want" to get the bigwater 745 but people say it sucks so bad, i was wondering if i upgraded the block would it still suck? I am willing to build a setup, could some lucky guy "build" me a setup with a budget of lets say 250-300 dollars and its for a amd 2800 xp and i want to add a vid card to the chain.


thanks for the help

bigwater + better block = the same price of a good custom system or apex kit.. so why bother?

The kit itself is just all around subpar (not dramatically junk.. just barely subpar) but the thing is that if you want to upgade it in the end you will be spending the same amount as buying decent quality components..

i was kinda thinkin that, ok what would you recommend? I browsed frozencpu and xoxide.com and said forget it, just too many
