sorry for the delay in my reply. i was on my lunch break when i posted this and did not expect to get so much info so fast. but as i said this is my first build i do know " i would say above average knowledge of pc's " but by all means there is a lot i still need to learn. i know the basics of water cooling. i work in construction so that's basics for me . i don't know anything about oc but i want water cooling because i do plan to oc on this rig. my plan for this rig is to be a learning experience for me. so i want everything in it. if people don't think i should go with a i7 build, i want to hear it. i want to get the most for my cash in this rig and want it to not just a pc but a no lag mass war no scip frame fast load time be able to play anything i fill like playing on a whim monster rig. i want to be proud of what i make and learn new thing's along the way. if anyone want to sit down with me on vent ts aim forums email and work with me to build this monster. i would gladly except the offer. one can not learn new thing's without the guidance of someone that already knows.
i do apologize if i came off a bit strong minded but im passionate about my pc,games,learning new things about the pc.
