Is this a good system? (includes watercooling)

[Soichiro]

I've recently found a job, and that means I have money now, so I'm going to be getting a new gaming comp soon-ish. I just want a few people to comment on my choice of hardware, and since it's my first watercooling system, I want to make sure all the components for that are compatible. Just so you know, I'm going to be overclocking this thing like there's no tomorrow. And no I won't be buying it all at once. Most likely I'll just buy the stuff either when it goes on sale or I get enough money to buy all the remaining parts... I love not having to pay the bills, cuz it means I can spend my money on this stuff!

Case - This sexy thing (I mean that in a non-sexual way) $299.99 *is shot* I need the room so I don't have to buy a separate case for the watercooling stuff (although this is as big as 2 cases glued together ).

Power Supply - OCZ 520W Powerstream $119.99

CPU - Dual-core Opteron 165 $350.00

Mobo - DFI Lanparty Ultra-D $128.00

RAM - 2x1GB DDR500 Mushkin Redline $305.00

Video Card - eVGA Geforce 7800GT 256MB $299.00

Hard Drive - Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250GB SATA150 $99.00

CD Drives - NEC Silver IDE DVD Burner $40.99
ASUS Silver IDE DVD Drive $25.99 (Yes the drives need to match the case!)

Fan Controller - Sunbeam 5 1/4" 4 Channel Rheobus $19.99

Case Fans - 9 Thermaltake 120mm Blue LED Fans $6.99 x 9 = $62.91

Radiator Fans - 3 Panaflo 120mm Medium Speed Fans $10.99 x 3 = $32.97

Fan Grills - 9 120mm Metal Fan Guard $1.95 x 9 = $17.55

Fan Screws - 100 Chrome Fan Screws $5.00

(All items below with 1/2" OD fittings.)
Radiator - Black Ice Extreme III $77.99

Pump - Danger Den D5 Pump $74.95

Reservoir - Danger Den Dual 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir $31.95

CPU Waterblock - Swiftech Storm $63.95

GPU Waterblock - Danger Den NV-78 $124.95

Tubing - Tygon 1/2" ID 3/4" OD Tubing $2.80/3 ft. (How many feet do you think I'll need of this?)

Watercooling Fluid - PrimoChill PC ICE Non-Conductive Blue UV Reactive Liquid $19.99 (I know I could just use anti-freeze but I need my comp to glow as brightly as possible )

I know, I know, most people would say I have too many fans. Well I say I don't have enough! Even though it's watercooled, I want as many fans as possible (as long as they're quiet) just so I can brag about having more fans than everyone else! And don't ask for the total cost, I'm too lazy to add it all up...

wow. thats alot to spend on watercooling. save some money and build it yourself.

 

[Soichiro]

What do you mean? I am building it myself. Although I'm probably going to go the (slightly) cheaper route and just get a Maze4 GPU waterblock and then some Video Card RAM heatsinks, since the RAM won't get that hot anyway... (about $50 instead of $120 for GPU cooling)

i was just talking about your watercooling setup. its cheaper to buy parts that arent specifically manufactured for watercooling, i.e. radiator or heatercore from a certain model car. the waterblocks you have no choice but to buy, but youll probably shave a good $100 just by going the DIY way.
