Well, this being my first post here at |H|, let me introduce myself.....now that thats done with , lets get on with the show shall we. Even though Im pretty much a n00b at all this, I do have a general understanding of computers. Im looking to make a gaming rig that I will use until I gain enough experience to make my own (build my own case and mods). I allready have the Tt kandalf, and the Tt 680W PSU (which I know some will critisize). So here we go, with a $5000 budget, I need a processor, motherboard (with good OC abilities), graphic card (preferably Nvidia), a hard drive, and a liquid cooling system ( I'll go with 1/4" for my first mod). So please recommend away. I prefer going with the best of everything, but the only thing I will not shift is my liquid cooling system opinion; which is that I want a 1/4" Innovatek system because I really like the whole compression fittings deal.

By the way, is there some kind of universal gallery here at |H| where everyone posts their rig, or maybe some kind of personal gellery where I could organize pictures of this developing project.

Thank you
 
The best place to ask for recommendation would be the General Hardware Forum. I envy you for having $5K to build a gaming system.

As for the gallery questions, use this sub forum for the actual progress of the mod and you can just look around the other forums to find out what everyone elses setups are. Many put their systems in their signature like mine below.
