Alright, so this is the next PC I'm gonna build, just a few final questions.
Will Asus do fine or would you recommend getting EVGA/BFG/XFX etc instead for my mainboard and GPU?
As for the air cooling I'm going with the standard fans coming with the case, any risk of overheating my memory or any other component not connected to the water cooling system (going to water cool the CPU, GPU and harddrive)?
I'm going to replace the fan on the 8800gtx with a water block my self, anyone got any experience doing this, is it hard?
Any other comments and toughts are appreciated, and if you know something about water cooling feel free to recommend any brands to look for when buying the pump, radiator, tubing, etc.
