Are you dead set on overclockers? They reliably charge anywhere from a bit too much to way too much for most things.

Would that be with standard air cooling ?

Nope if you got any other good websites that would be cool

I don't think anyone knows much about water cooling here in terms of the parts you need. We can get a good build for you, but in terms of WCing setup you may need to get advice on that elsewhere.

Re: New build


You want SLi, so I'm assuming you put the priority on performance, rather than noise/power consumption?

Also, how long are you planning on having that £2500 last? For example, if you want it to last 5 years, you'd be better off getting a £1500 rig now and then spending £1000 on upgrades in 2-3 years, rather than just getting the best that £2500 can get you now.

Finally, I'd bump this or create a new thread closer to the time you want to buy. Prices could be very different in a few months.

Water cooling isn't essential I just wanted a change

I have a decent rig at the moment but it's AMD I wanted to go intel as I think that runs ps2 better ??

That didn't really answer anything I asked, but okay, what rig do you have at the moment?

I'm guessing Planetside 2's playable at decent settings with that rig?

Re: New build


Not atm as its only tech test and they are still sorting performance issues , it plays battlefield 3 with ease but that may not be a good thing to compare it too

Honestly, I'd wait until release, and if you still aren't getting the performance you want to be getting, then upgrade.

I haven't been able to play PS2 yet, but I'd have thought a 580 was more than comfortable with it, so even if you do end up needing to upgrade, a CPU and motherboard might be all you need.
