Hey all, so I'm near the end of my first ever build.
I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions or advice on decent water coolers at a low cost.. and if it would be worth it over fans for my rig. (depending on suggestions, maybe I should just stick with fans?
My specs:
Mobo - Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
CPU - Sandy Bridge Intel Core i5-2500k stock 3.3Ghz turbo to 3.6Ghz (Plan on overclocking)
Video card - Msi R6950 Twin Frozr III 2gb OC/Power Edition x2 in Crossfire (Plan to overclock)
Ram - Corsair Vengeance 16gb (4 x 4GB) DDR3
PSU - Thermaltake Black Widow 850W 80+ Bronze
SSD - OCZ Vertex 3 120GB
Case - Cooler Master HAF X Full Tower
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium
The case holds lots of fans.. But I will be using the computer a lot, and with overclocking and all, I was just wondering if water cooling would be better or not, and if it does, preferably not very expensive cooling, as long as it beats fans.
Also I'm stuck on a 32" LCD TV right now.. But once the build is complete I'm hoping to get three 27" LED monitors for eyefinity of the monitor in the link below.. But first I'd like to know if this rig would even be able to run games like Crysis or BF3 on ultra 1080p on three 27" or not.
