i know the new 9x's are out but i got the ultras for a good deal thats why,,and what do you guys think of the cpu HS?,,just so you guys know this case is really good,,to much space and the quality is great...feel free to comment :welcome:

ps:ive been useing the pc in sig for sometime now and its still runing great but i wanted a change :p
 
Are you keeping the raptors from your old build? I've heard good things about Zalman heatsinks. The PSU seems a bit overkill @ 1200 watts. Why are you getting a PhysX card?

well i got all the asus stuff from a shop here and he gave me the PhysX card for free so i was like thanks lol...and ya i'll keep my old pc i'll still use it...
 
Sweet looking, try swapping the vapochill over :beer:

i cant well not on this case cos it will be massy and i dont like that but maybe i will at one point i'll keep it on air cooling for now,, as for the PhysX card are they any good? i dident really read oc forums from a long time now so is there a point in having a PhysX card?
 
Your best options for your system are the Thermalright 120ultra, 9700, Tuniq tower or the Xigmatek Rifle 120.

well i was thinking of getting the 9700 as soon as the shop i got the 9500 from has it he said its on the way here will see,,thanks ne way....
 
oh ya i dident say wich hard drives i got

2x Western Digital Raptor X 150GB
 
sounds like a solid system. Be sure to back up your important files on another drive if you're Raid 0ing those raptors.
