Some may have read my other post asking for input about PC components. For those who have not - I'm pricing out a new computer from scratch, nothing ordered and never built one before. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/268234-31-first-time-builder-advise For a list of components that I'm looking info (scroll to bottom right away on my second post).
Short version would be:
Processor: i7-920 Processor (OC to a 3.0-3.2)
Board: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58
Graphics: EVGA 01G-P3-1180-AR GeForce GTX 285
Memory: OCZ XMP Ready Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3
Power: COOLER MASTER UCP RS900-AAAAA3 900W
Case: COOLER MASTER COSMOS 1000
But to the point I'm trying to be smart shopper and consider all options, one being water cooling. But I know very little outside of a few articles I read in the last day. Problem is they talk concept and how-to, or are referencing from a year + ago.
The power and case are what I'm skeptical about right now. If a water cooling system would be implemented are those the best choices? (I liked them because they are big, and steel case - weight is nothing for me.) Where would I begin looking, what parts are needed? What price range would be needed to take full advantage (a run that would cover as many components as possible)?
But at the very basics, does it save to shop now? Or if I built a system and came back later would it be indifferent?
