what i have already.
thermaltake armour case with thermal take mosfet cooler water tank, alphacool res and pump.
what i im embarking on.
im moving away from intel
because an intel build is way too costly these days 
so im embarking on an AMD build. the brain
AMD piledriver am3+ fx8 8 core black edition cpu @ 4ghz 4.2 on turbo, overclockable to about 5.2 on air beyond with water and right board.
asus ROG formula mobo, it the only board that has sata 3 6bs and usb 3.0 and onbourd soundblaster available to the amd am3+ support chipset, so ive really locked myself into a courner on mobo choice here havent i.
graphics wise, im going crossfire, with mid end cards amd xfx HD7870 2gb gddr5 256bit cards, looks cool and xfx are a brand i can trust having a 9800gtx that lasted almost 4 years trouble free without the fan issue's that Nvidia had with them andother brands, im not impressed with the gainward GTX550 ti golden sample i have right now, there seems to be issues with software and the more and more nvidia update the drivers the more the card slows down FPS wise and heats up, so on the 300 family drivers it runs really hot now from being 52 under BO2 load with mid settings im on low settings and running at about 72 deg celcius, the card with expertool running the fan on full cycle 100% my FPS on low settings around 70-190, if i go higher setting i get stutters and nothing dies.
crucial tactical 8gb memory ddr3 2x4gb, will go higher later on in the year with a 16GB system.
samsung 840 250GB SSD
im going to need a better PSu to run crossfire config so opted with xfx 850w pro series.
water block
pipe work
and other little bits would complete it.
total spend £1040.00 same type of system but only a 6 care amd processor is £1800 without water and 2x cards. so i estimate that my system would cost £2000 to buy if i had bought as all in one.
