your system is pretty nice, go watercooling and take your time doing it. the result is very rewarding.

If you can spend an extra ~80$ go for GTX285 SLi instead of GTX280.

With better cooling, your chip can probably make it well into 4Ghz.

My system specs are as follows: CPU: Core i7 920 2.4GHz (Not overclocked because I know my CPU fan cant handle it) GPU: EVGA x280 x2 SLI 6 GB Corsair DDR 1600 1200 Watt Power Supply Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Seagate 160Gb HD x2 WD 500Gb HD Antec 1200 Full Tower case If any other info is needed let me know. |

Read, read, and the read some more.......
Stuff like this:
Martin's
skinnee
Thermochill
Swiftech also has a lot of data on their products.
There are three types of watercooling:
Silent, high performance, bling
There are two ways to get it right:
Read posts with peoples opinions of what works well (easy to get bad information)
Use actual performance data to figure out what you need. (always works best)

I just want to put it out there that I find it easier to work with 1/2" Tubing with 1/2"IN Fittings.
7/16" tubing on 1/2"IN fittings is very "snug" if you know what I mean... so much that it can be very hard to get the tubing off of your fitting..
