silverstone TJ10 case, Ikonik Vulcan 1000 watt, Striker II Extreme, Q9650, G.SKILL GT1 4GB DDR3 PC3 16000, Swiftech Apogee GTZ waterblock, MCP350 pump, 12" rad

2 questions on this, should need the waterblock the chipset and gpu's? and were should i go to get the Yorkfield, a good one (what stepping)?

thanks for your time SG,
Well your looking good on the system you won't need board water cooling. I would recommend a comos 1000 case put a rad at the top and cut 2 holes in the side to cool board and grapics. My bro is a welder so he is putting hole in for my 2 silent 12cm fans on monday I'll tell you how it goes. Buy testing seemed to go realy well. Overing take alot of time mate so good look with your build
