Advice on Building a new Computer.

Hello everyone, I'm building a computer for the first time, and wanted to know if there's anythign wrong with this config or if you have any comments.

This is a watercooled rig, but, not trusting myself with the fill & bleed process, I think I'll have FrozenCPU do it, then ship it.

C'mon guys, anyone?

Wow Street, That looks like top of the line hardware there.
You shouldnt be afrad to fill and drain your system as you will have to do it once in awhile anyway. It's really no big deal. You just fill and keep a close eye on it for the first half hour and refill as needed then check it each day a few times for a couple days.

As far as your choice in ram you may want to consider some pc3500 or pc3700 because if you cant get to 250fsb with that 3.2EE you will be undercloking your ram. Do you know what divider that 3.2 is ?

Not a clue, I don't know too much about hardware, besides what's better than what and the like.

I should hope it's top-of-the-line, as I'm not getting a new one for another 3 years ( Yes, I do upgrade)

Holy Smokes,
I see after reading this thread http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=271278&highlight=3.2+multi
that the multi is 14 and this guy got to 293 fsb so maybe you shold consider getting some faster ram. Doubtful you would find some that would run at 293 1:1 but I think 280 should be doable and quite possibly with the ram you have chosen.

Doh !!
After doing a little more research that last thread I pointed you to was for the vaunted 3.2E not EE as it seems the 3.2EE has a 16 multiplyer as shown in this thread http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=268523&highlight=3.2EE
so if I was to guess it looks like the pc4000 should do you just fine. I really don't know what the most common max overclocks are for the 3.2EE are. Guess that is what the search button is for
You are planning on overclocking it aren't you ?

Most Definately, Thanks for the info.

I'll be sure to see what it overclocks to, hope to post any results I get here.
