Chances are you've seen the bits and pieces of my build in various places, and now that buying time is approaching, I need some good WC. Here's the build as it stands (assuming the people in general hardware don't tear it up too much)
Case
COOLER MASTER Stacker RC-832 320$
CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 400$
Hard Drive
2 x Seagate 500GB 32M Barracuda 7200.11 110$x2
Memory
G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2-1000 CAS5 F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ 120$
Graphics
GeForce 8800 GTS, 768MB PCI Express 200$
Motherboard
X48 290$
PSU
Corsair 620HX 140$
OS
Windows Vista Home Premium 64
As for WC. Fittings, tubing, ect is a given. Rad's, pumps, and blocks are not. So far it seems I'll want to block my CPU for sure, possibly both of my gpu's, although I would take advice on that one. One rad will possibly handle it, and that and the blocks swiftech seems to be the best choice for. (with that, a question, if I end up getting gpu blocks, full coverage, or go with ramsinks? it's one of the few things I've found nothing truly definative on)
As for pumps, since this is my first WC rig with more than one block, I really have no idea what pump power would be required in a (possibly) three block system. Reccomendations?
