Looks good though I wouldn't go with Thermaltake Xaser III (just a personal opinion).

As for the overclocking part...it's hard to say until you get the parts.

That looks like a top notch system. The only thing that jumps in my mind that you could upgrade to is a Raptor drive. Have fun with that beast.

Everything looks good. If it's possible I would ditch the Thermaltake PS and get either Antec or Fortron.

^^ I second that.

My friend has that case. Its big...TOO DAMN HEAVY (50lbs+).. and the fan grill are horribly restrictive. Its a terrible case IMHO.

I would look at getting a lighter case, or an Antec. You really dont understand how ****** steel cases are until you use an 6lb aluminum Superlanboy case. My PC weighs 1/2 of what it was before

I'd keep the PSU tho or get at higher watt version. I friend of mine is using TT's 560w:

^^ He tells me that it is a kick *** PSU. It runs alot cooler and better than his/mine Antec 430w True.

IMHO Antec PSU run hot enough to effect EVERYTHING in your PC. To say the least its the hottest running part in my PC.

^^ Thats a no no. Your mobo has the innate ability to clock EXTREMELY high on the FSB... take advantage of that. Go buy some good PC4000 and get that into the 260-270mhz range

OCz, Mushkin, Adata, Kingston, Corsair are all reputible brands that will not let you down

Asetek Waterchill cpu/chipset KT03-L20

Ive heard *mixed* things about Asetek's W/C setups. IMHO if you can stand the noise, Thermalright's SP97 and a high-speed fan (like a Tornado or Thermaltake's SF2), will do the same thing and be much cheaper.

However if you insist on going W/c I'd reccomend either getting a DangerDen kit or a Dtek kit.

Other than that, she looks good
