Hey Bozo,

Side question, how much that PC monster could possibly cost? 2TB HDD is too much for me, 1TB is enough. If your PC happens to be super awesome and I could afford it, I can buy it after Silvester.

i have bad experience with MSI hardware. When i was working on reclamation department in past, MSI boards and graphic card was returned the most in compare with rest of hardware vendors. If you wanna buy new mobo, i can recommend Asus or Gigabyte. I cant recommend ASRock. MSI is somewhere between this vendors

BTW why you wanna buy 1866MHz RAM if memory controler can run just 1600MHz? If you want more power, buy 1600MHz with lower timings

My experience with water cooling is bad. We built some computers with water cooling sets by corsair and it was more noisy than good air coolers. For example my heatpipe cooler Scythe Ninja 2 is enough powerfull to cool non overclocked i5-2500K fanless. I can just recommend similar air cooler or very big water cooling kit. If its small its noisy how its cooling water in radiator (and pussy pump makes some noise also)

Very good conf'. I would just need more HDD space like +3TB, but it's not expensive to add. Anyway, nice choice, I think you'll not have problems on this computer.

I'd be wary of MSI products, i had two MSI motherboards and had various problems with both of them, most notably on one both IDE channels got fucked inexplicably, the other fried 2 gigs of my ram. I tend to take decent care of my hardware, and those were the only two mobos i ever bought that went on the fritz.

Perhaps it was just bad luck and a coincidence, perhaps not, but still, i have to agree with Beazt, i'd pick an Asus or Gigabyte mobo before MSI any day of the week, even if i could save some money on it.

don't buy msi motherboard, smarter would be buying even asrock, like previously wroten in this topic i also had some problems with msi motherboards

also i have kinda opposite experiences with watercooling, thought my was kinda extreme, the water block was a real decent one, also the water pump was whole in the fluid box so that's eliminated the noise almost completely this was connected to super slow 4x120mm fans with water cooler, and i never worried about temp even if my motherboard had both modded vdd and vcpu to kind of extreme levels

so my water cooling was nothing like u can buy, comparing it to corsair product its like fiat punto vs viper, if u want decent water cooling u should rather bought the elements for it as separate products

btw. use raid for ssd ;}

aha do not forget about soundsource with amplifier for headphones
