I have recently designed a very expensive system and i want to check with people who actually know what they are doing (i.e. not me) whether the system at all bottlenecked or not, and as to any upgrades I can make in the $5000 Price Bracket.
It's got a custom water cooling system in it because I want to try the whole D.I.Y aspect of the system.
Here is the system, it is in AUD and all prices are quoted from www.pccasegear.com
