New computer

[Agnostic Bear]

Watercooling is useless, i5 is useless due to 1366 getting 32nm 6 core, nvidia is useless due to problems with knowing just what the hell they are.

Thanks for the great amount of advice.. :rolleyes:

[Stephen!]

It's true though. It's quite a bad time to be building a new PC this time of year because great tech is just around the corner.

That being said, it's always like that.

Already knew im going with i7 so i5 being useless doesn't bother me

also stephen;

that fine?

[Stephen!]

I wouldn't go with the XSPC waterblock, however it's just taste really. Performance differences are marginal.

You don't need the bridging tool as it does the same thing as a paper clip, but ultimately it's up to you.

I would have recommended you keep the tubing all of the same size as it can cause pressure issues. Stick with 7/16"

Gulftown (6 core 32nm) is expected to have a very high price tag when its released, so i'm sure a i7 will still make a good choice for a long while - atleast until the price tag for the gulftown comes down.

[scottish]

What barb sizes would i need with 7/16" one then

[Stephen!]

I use 1/2"

It's a nice snug fit.

[scottish]

you use 7/16" tubes?

[N!ck]

you use 7/16" tubes?

Yes I think so. 7/16 tubes fit tighter on 1/2 barbs .
