You guys watercool instead of going 1 up tier, and thats funny.

Personally id get the highest end EQ, then add water later.
Not get mid tier EQ and water at the same time.

A long time ago, about 5-6yrs ago... reason why we watered was we didnt need to upgrade.
We take out kit, and move it over to another platform without needing anymore then a cpu mount.

Now board blocks and GPU FC blocks change everything. There is no lets take this to the new platform when we upgrade.

So in my eyes then, Highest Tier EQ first... then the accessories which is the blocks next.

And a P55 loaded will NEVER beat a X58 loaded.
The X58 loaded will cost 70% more tho.
I'd say you're right for the most part. But some people may just be transitioning from a air cooled rig to a water cooled one, and of those most people may have just gone for a slightly milder rig than what some have here.
Besides, the Core i5 670 looks like a damn fine OCing chip for 1156.
