Well its been a couple of years and I really need to play some of these latest games I've been intentionally avoilding till I have the power to enjoy them at their greatest.
I've already started the spending with the purchase of my new G5 Logitech mouse (which I love) and a 20 inch Dell Widescreen (expecting it in early next week!)
Now I need some help with the rest of my buys!
CPU: Id like some suggestions for each price range 200/400/600/800 Keeping in mind that I WILL have this CPU watercooled! I want the best OCers, but Id also like a daul core if it wont cost me to much as far as overall OC ability/performance (Oh and AMD only)
Waterblocks: For the GPU Im thinking of the Maze from dangerden and for CPU Im not sure as I saw some review were the Maze CPU block got spanked by something else. I have a pump already a Eheim 315GPH, would it be enough to get a Y spliter, run the water to the GPU/CPU and back into another Y splitter before the Heatercore. Could this be to much for the pump or heatercore? The heater core is the one seen here

It has a 120w/shroud on both sides
GPU: Im pretty dead set on a X1800XT512 right now
Motherboard:I dont need crossfire, just a good mother board for under 130 preferably/ Asus(Gigabyte will work to) is my favorite company thus far
DO NOT BUY FROM MSI, WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
RAM: Heres the thing, I already have one 512 stick of HyperX PC3200, now im either going to leave it in this old one or move it to the new one, but Im not sure (on your forums I saw some bad things said of the HyperX though PC3500 not my 32 so idk) will PC3200 be fast enough for any big OCed AMD Watercooled CPU?
Harddrives: What I wanted to do here was have a small fast one(or two) and then have one big massive one for storage. What would you recomend for my 200 to 300 Gb big slow one? As for the fast one(or two) I was looking toward the Raptors, but theirs some really cheap SCSIs now so idk suggestions?
Thx in advanced for any input!
