Hey guys, as you can see in my specs, I have a pretty good PC already, but I feel like upgrading to a water-loop cooled PC.
Probably a D-Frame Case with a newer Motherboard and CPU.
I'd like your opinion as to which Mobo-CPU combo could be the best for my situation (since I intend to OC my cpu and gpu using the water cooling, my main activity being GAMING and multi-tasking, web surfing and whatnot)
I'm thinking of getting an ivy-bridge cpu this time, I hear they OC pretty good. but I'm completly new to "water cooling" with a pump, water loop and whatnot. I was using a Cool-it ECO before, so I have no real experience with loops...
But I've watched quite a few videos, and I'm pretty sure I can handle it. I already have a gtx 670 (I could possibly upgrade to a more powerful card and watercool it, but I'm fine sticking to my current gpu and ram)
So I guess you could take a look @ my specs, and tell me what you would upgrade to to get a kick-ass PC for gaming, without having to sell my soul, if you get my meaning lol
