around 1000 euros is alot indeed. 4 120mm's will be blowing against the cards.. first i had the crazy idea to fit them inside a mid tower lian li 60fw, which has only one inlet and one outlet fan by the way this 2gb vs 1gb dilemma is the same i had a few years ago. The choice was a 320 or 640mb...

Yeah but it's not that i can do a gtx285 now and upgrade later, I have to buy it all at once and I have to buy the upgrades with my own money, which after getting this pc I wont have any :P

I am building my next pc. The reason that I want the most extreme setup that's available at the moment is that the pc has to last for like 5 or more years. I know that at the moment only gta 4 uses more than 1gb. Will 2gb be more used in the future. Which would be the most future proof option...

i think i made my choice. Going for the i7/x58 combo. What matters most to me is not even the performance, it would be an upgrade path. socket 1366 will be here for years to come i think, so no point in investing money in old tech, when you have to pay for a new motherboard cpu etc when the...

watercooling would cost me 350 euro, x58 price was the same as the p45 motherboard i was looking at, 720 is 220 euro's ddr3 was 70 euros, rest is going into a cooler and vid card cooler. the p5b would just not boot past 333mhz fsb, and yeah i raised the voltages. I have a question about the...

well if i skip out the watercooling for now i could buy an x58/i7 system. hard time deciding. I can always start to save up again for the watercooling

yeah they do ship internationally, but the shipping costs are so high i might as well but it here. What sort of temps do you think i could get with this setup, no point in spending almost 350 euros if it is only going to cool 5-10 degrees better than a high end aircooler. i planned on putting...

problem is that the budget is just not there for the quad-core, well it would be there if i'd skip the watercooling but that's something that i really want. if you're talking about an upgrade, percentage wise how much performance increase would you see.

I am looking at upgrading my pc. at the moment i have a e6600 running at 3ghz, an asus p5b (yeah i know there wasn't much choice), 4 gigs of ddr2-800 and an hd4870 1gb running at 850/1000 i mostly do photoshop/lightroom combo and some gaming (fallout 3, bioshock and far cry 2) the games are...

do performance pc's ship to the netherlands, with the current exchange rates that might save me some cash i can put in better parts. and on the coolermaster site it says that i can fit a triple radiator in that case, thanks for the advice by the way

so i just got into watercooling and i want to start out good, no kit for me. So far this is what i have on my list: Waterkool Heatkiller rev 3.0 LT XSPC Razor 4870 Eheim 1048 Thermochill PA120.3 Innovatek AGB-O-MATIC 3x Yate Loon d12sl-12 arctic silver 5 3/8" fittings/tubes all of this has to...
