So, I have a decent system and I want to get back into watercooling again. Before I go through all of the work to setup the H2O cooling I thought I would consider some minorish upgrades. As of late most of my gaiming is now done on my Xbox 360, but I do like to play PC only releases from time to time. I have a 1900x1080 24" Dell monitor and may get a second. I also dabble in some Avid Liquid and PS. This will also be pulling server duty as I plan to part out my media server. This means it will be running quite a bit
My Current System:
Tagan Black Pearl WCR
Seasonic 750w PSU
DFI DK P35-T2RS
Q6600@3.6ghz
4x1gb Corsair Dominator 8500
8800GTX
2 X 500gb Maxtor in Raid 0
1tb Seagate 7200.11 (eventually adding a couple more)
I thought I might upgrade to a X48 board, and I am eyeing this one.

I think I will keep the CPU, but thought about changing the ram. Any thoughts on what might be better? I run Vista 64bit Ultimate and was thinking about going to 8gb of ram
Now I know this might be kinda of dumb, but its more for bling/wow factor and just for fun. I was going to add a second 8800GTX and try out some SLI. I guess it more to try SLI than to really gain a lot of performance. I figured running dual overclocked 8800GTXs would give me plenty of performance for a while. I just dont think I can swing a 4870x2, and if I run one card now I will have to do a lot of fiddling to add a second to my loop later.
