    Well hows it going all, right here's the story. I wanna build another machine, now ive built like 6 at this stage and have a very good idea of what to do etc etc... Most of the machines I have built are modded, ye gotta love a dremel. the problem im having is that I haven't built one in over a year. I really haven't a clue whats the new in hardware at the moment.

    What I do know is this:
    1. Im gonna watercool and overclock
    2. I really wanna get a solid state drive
    3. And I have 1,400

    So any ideas?

    By the way I don't need a monitor keyboard or mouse etc etc...

    ... But do you need a shiny new copy of Windows 7? :P And is this build for gaming or general computing or what?

    In any case, €1400 is plenty for a good rig unless that includes the WC budget too :o

    Already have a copy of Windows 7 pro 64bit, I have two more machines that can still use this key...

    Its mainly for gaming and unfortunately that budget is for the WC aswell but if it runs over by a bit aswell thats ok... As long as it aint too high, lets say 1400 +- 200.

    I can't w8 to sink my teeth into building this one...

    What do you think of the Zalmaner Reserator V2?

    I don't know what grade of WC gear you want/need, that's going to set the tone of the build because WC could easily cost anything between €200 and €1000+ depending on how hardcore you go! :eek:

    Wait till the end of the month before you build, Nvidia is releasing there new GPU's on the 25-26th March. You might see some price drops aswell! So it's worth the wait.
