I've got about 450 bucks to spend. I would like to invest in some watercooling but the ole Ti4400 is showing its age as well. I'm also running a 1700+ at 2400+ speed but I know it will go further with good cooling. Also with danger den coming out with a 6800 series waterblock soon watercooling becomes even more tempting. But the 6800GT runs circles around the 6800 and beats the X800pro 80% of the time from what I've seen. So here is the problem as it stands:
Spend 300 on the 6800 and about 150 for wc with potential for the 6800 waterblock from danger den down the road.
OR
Spend the 400 on a 6800GT and maybe buy a better HSF for the ole 1700+
Right now I'm leaning toward the 1st option because I get 2 advantages and only one disadvantage. The 2 advantages are that I get more cooling and a quieter PC and more horsepower to feed the 6800 by speeding up the 1700+. Disadvantage is obviously that there won't be a GT in my case.
You guys can look at my sig to see the rest of my rig that I'm working with currently.
What do you guys think?
