what are you planning to put it all in then?

As i said previously, dont see the point of water cooling it to be fair, entirely up to you of course with that budget but i cant see it making a blind bit of difference for you
 
They're the same price but the Corsair Ram has a little higher latancy.

I heard the X6800 can be overclocked to over 5GHz and I think a water cooling system will help with that...
 
:O $469 for 2GB of ram.

Don't get watercooling for your processor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. It will be extremely messy and a hassle to keep up with
2. The Core 2 Duos run so cool most people haven't needed to change the cooler from the stock one.
3. Air cooling takes virtually no maintenance.

Conclusion: Quality air cooling is plenty sufficient. Get the Zalman CNPS9500 for your rig.
 
fine dont listen to me, cant be arsed saying it for the fourth time, like banging me head against a wall.

obviously you see what im getting at Jet
 
It's not like "like banging me head against a wall." because so far you only provided opinions and no facts... The water cooling system is not only for the CPU by the way.
 
I intend to do some heavy OC on my system especialy on the GPUs and the CPU, and that's exactly where I'm going to direct the water cooling into.
 
Are you getting a separate gpu block? it doesn't come with one...
As well, you should get a phase change cooler instead of water cooling. Get a nicer watercooling setup for your graphics cards, and put the radiator in a portable refrigerator :)
