Hi all! I'm new to this forum and not very informed :( , how u can see according to my question.
So, I inted to buy myself a new computer, and I've already decided which parts I'm getting: Thermaltake 1000W power supply, EVGA 680i motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, EVGA GF 8800 GTS 640 MB, 2 GB Corsair Ram - 1066 MHz, Seagate Barracuda 500 GB, 16 M Cache and Thermaltake Mozart TX case. My question is what cooling to use. I really don't know which cooling systems are the best, but I think that liquid cooling is way better than fans (I don't know about the ones with dry ice actually). So.., I really like the Thermaltake Symphony Mini and I want to ask if this babe here can handle (besides the CPU) my motherboard, video card, ram & hdd. If it can't, then please tell me if there is a liquid cooler that can cool all the parts of my computer simultaneously. I mean only one device that can make the liquid circulate through several pipes - to the CPU, Motherboard, GPU, Memory, HDD and back (I think this is called a pump, but, oh well :pt1cable: ) and, u know, drop a few degrees.

Thank U very much! And I'm really sorry if I write like someone from the kindergarten! :??:

If you were to go for an air system i would recommend the Antec 900 case with a Theramlright Ultra eXtreme cpu cooler + 120mm fan and a Zalman VF1000 to plonk onto of your 8800GTS 640MB if that's really the gfx card you want. I doubt you'll need to cool your RAM any more than the supplied heat spreaders with it being 1066 STD. That setup will keep any component setup cool with plenty of o/cing headroom ;).

1) Get an 8800GT or new 512 GTS, its better than the 640 GTS
2) Unless your doing crazy stuff, go with air cooling, its cheaper

Get a Thermalright 120 extreme and a good 120mm fan
Also, the Antec 900 is a great cooling case
