I wanted a good gaming pc, so this is the one. I am only 15, and have average experience on this. I went to the GameSpot forum and they told me these are some good sets, I should stay with DDR3 RAM and use HD 4870X2 2GB in crossfire. I would like to know your opinions about this! I also need a water cooling system, could you help? Right now, I have Windows Vista 32-bit, and wonder if I should get the 64 bit or go XP.. |

You might want to try the Antec 900 case. I have had a good experience with that

Thx for the info, I want to go with a case large enough for a water cooling system. I could spend around $11,000

Nice pc build, Although I might suggest 2 smaller hard drives in RAID-0. Say maybe 2 750Gb or something? Other than that, I am jealous as to how you got that much money at 15. I'm 14 and I'm getting a new pc myself but it is not as good as yours(although my GFX cards come pretty close).
