You only need 1 GB of RAM. Your PSU is crap, get an Antec, and get a Western Digital.

Ok never the less, would i still need liquid cooling or would a good thermal take or good cooling case work just the same.....

Very good CPU (If it's the San Diego model)
Bad mobo
Bad vid card
Only need 1gb of RAM
Audigy 2 Value sucks; get the Audigy 2 ZS
Crappy PSU
Very bad HDD
A Lian-Li case would be better.

To awnser your question, no you would not need any extra cooling, unless you plan on doing some extreme overclocking, which I highly doubt due to your choice of hardware.

yes it is the san diego model, i will only get a gb of ram, but what motherboard should i get, I was thinking about SLi in the future, but i wasnt sure...

My rule 'the more expensive something is the better it is'. There is of course no point in purchasing a 10 foot cinema screen for a 8 foot long living room.

Try a Zalman click here for air cooling.

Personally, i don't reccomend putting water inside a box full of electronics. It's too risky!
