Help on building a good CPU

[Venom95]

Hi, I want to build a new computer I know I want to use the Asus saber tooth bored and water cool it at some point probably not right away... my problem is I need help on picking parts for the build... I'm going to run only one GPU but I'd like to water cool that too at some point.. so I might not buy the gpu right away to save up till I can buy the block with it.. I need advice on picking out Rads, psu, gpu, ram, case, res for the loop, waterblocks, pumps, pretty much everything other then the bored and cpu.. I was thinking of getting the NXZT Switch case.



Thanks for any help sorry for the rushed post..

The Sabertooth is a great board, I use it a lot.

The Corsair 500R Case / Corsair PSU combos on newegg are a steal.

2 GPU extreme OC

I wouldn't bother with water cooling on today's CPU's / GPU's. Unless you just shooting to get ya name on some web site top ten list, I find it's really not worth the time and trouble. The better air coolers provide more cooling than is req'd by today's CPUs.

It's almost ironic that coolers like this are becoming available just as processors transition to designs that may ultimately render them unnecessary; even overclocked to 5GHz, an Intel Sandy Bridge 2600K doesn't need anywhere near this level of cooling.

The 3570k is the obvious CPU

The Asus 670 DCII is in my opinion the most sensible upper end GP, followed by the MSI 670 PE and Gigabyte Windforce

Corsair 1.35 RAM is my 1st pick for 8GB

Samsung 840 Pro and WD Black 2 GB for the storage

I was wanting to do the loop for dust as well.. plus I would be able to OC the ivy bridge a bit..
