I can't speak on the SSDs, as the last I knew there were issues getting the performance out of them due to wait-states in the CPU. But like I said, I can't really speak on them, as I've never used them and all I know is things I've read.
I would however offer this: IMHO, I like the ATI graphics, and if I'm going ATI on the GPU, I'm definitely going to go AMD on the CPU and mobo chipsets as well. Of course, mixing and matching components from different manufacturers is nothing incompatible, but when I build a machine I never do. Its a take it or leave it sort of thing I suppose, but to me, it just makes sense. |

The devil is in the details and I won't begin a build without a supply of premium fans as well as an assortment of quality cables. Also I love zip ties and if you take your time you can keep things nice and clean both on top and back of mobo. Another little tip is only plug your optical and the ssd drive into the mobo at first and make sure the ssd is in the number 1 sata header which will be a sata III header when you load your OS.
Oh and +1 on the sealed water coolers, I've switched from air to water and I'm not looking back, not only for performance but also a cleaner easier install. linnemeyer that is a VERY nice looking rig! Oh, and like you, I like "organized"! ![]() I've actually considered the water cooling. I really ike the clean uncluttered look of it as well as the more efficient cooling. I have to admit though that water hoses in my computer might worry me a little. Several years ago I had a 26 gal aquarium suddenly crack the front glass for no obvious reason and water started pouring out into our living room. Needless to say it created instant panic, and it wasn't even close to an expensive computer. LOL How long have you had the water cooled unit? It looks great. Is that Computer overclocked? Truthfully I haven't ruled out the possibility of a water cooler, but don't tell my wife! LOL I'm pressing my budget already. |

Liquid Cooling Liquid Cooling Systems, CPU Liquid Cooling Kits at TigerDirect.com& blow "Through" the radiator? I mean are there open slots so to speak in the radiator that allow air to actually "pass through" the unit freely? If so, then the the fan/radiator could be positioned to actually exhaust warm air from the case, serving a dual purpose. Am I correct? |

Yes the air passing through the hot fins cools them and so good fans that are quiet and can force good static pressure are essential. For this very reason alone I found quality Noctua fans and then used them everywhere. Here are all my water systems.
