Hello everyone. I just posted my sig rig on craigslist today because I am ambitious to do another build. If I get the money I want for it, I will be watercooling. Now my delima is company choices. I am not sure if I should do i7 or AMD. This is where you come in. I will need basically everything except a monitor. Please don't suggest a HAF 932 or Antec 1200 for cases. I love my HAF but I want something different. The only requirement is the case being a Full tower and if you can include a sound card that would be great. So lets say you had $1600 for a build (not saying I will get this much for my sig rig) and had to leave some money for watercooling cpu, what would you do?

You could go with an Intel/ATI SFF build.
Antec P180 Mini ~$80
DFI Jr. X58 Board ~$220
6GB's of Ram ~$100
Intel i7 920 ~$260
OCZ Vertex 60GB ~$200 (ish)
Corsair HX 750 ~$170
HD 4890 ~$200
Thats about $1200ish

I kind of like the full tower cases and I plan to only really cool cpu and northbridge (If I were to get a bloodrage motherboard)
