what size creen are you planning to use this with anything under 40 inch and you can drop the gtx 580 down to the 1,5Gb version and drop the ram down to 8 Gb possibly the cpu cooler down to the titan cooler then up the cpu to the 2700k.

sorry mispell i meant what size screen are you planning to use this pc on anything below 40 inch tv only needs a 1.5gb gtx 580 graphics card. also 8 gb of ram is more than enough for most programs and games unless your using Cad or an advanced adobe product. water cooling isnt what its cracked up to be i have a coolit eco and im changing it 3 months down the line because air cooling is alot safer in the terms, if the water cooler pops which they do tend to do after a year or so`s use it will destroy your whole pc the titan is a much safer bet and just as effective. with all those down sizes you could then afford the new intel i7 2700k chip which i belive PCS are just in the process of stocking.

Hello!

Thanks for the info, i am intended to use it on a 24 inch widescreen lcd monitor from asus, anyway I thought I might need higher clocked speed graphics card but if my system not going to use it then you are right, its pointless to have it. I am going to use this PC for the latest games and running them on high graphics without having any issues of lag, etc.
As for the titan fenir air cooling system, the PCS recommended me the eco liquid cooling system since my base unit is OC. On the other hand I believe in others opinion here.
Yea I should change my chip to that Intel i7 2700k whenever PCS will have it in stock, will keep checking it.

Once again thanks!
