so tell me what you think of it and also tell me what i could improve on

Nice...ughgh I cant think of anything you can improve on, it looks preety nice

Yeah, that's a nice PC, I would maybe upgrade that PSU, 500 watts might not cut it for a system that's that high end, but the included one is pretty decent. Other than that, you have a sweet system. Buy some case lights or something!!

If you really HAD to upgrade something, I'd say trade that DDR2 800 for some DDR2 1066. That would be smokin'. Also, I guess you could get the 8800 GTX graphics card, but I don't think you really need that fast of a graphics card right now, I would at least wait until ATI comes out with their new R600 DirectX 10 core.

[Haku Mioje]

no this is the computer im building right after christmas. im already ordering the HD and by the end of january ill have the case, MB, PSU, and CPU. but yeah freestyler, im going to end up getting some lights in it and im going to have my water blue so it has a glow and the keyboard and mouse im getting is a blue glow.

bad choice in watercooling parts. Aluminum + copper = disaster strikes. Once you mix metals that aren't neutral, massive corrosion to the blocks/radiators occur. Your brand new spankin water cooling set up will be useless. So, i advise you to either, custom build your loop, or choose one of the kits from www.petrastechshop.com

 

[Haku Mioje]

thanks for the advise ill look into that right now and update my selection. now that i know that ill make sure i dont make the same mistake. do you have any good suggestions on water cooling at about the same price.

ok well i found one, tell me if this sounds like a good pic

i looked at it but i would still like an outside source

 

[ownage]

The thing is, those cheapy 100 dollar kits are going to do you no good as they probably use aluminum in them as aluminum is a lot cheaper than copper. I would rather go high end air and save 50 bucks rather than buy a 100 buck kit. Just my $.02

 

[Haku Mioje]

ok well i may look into that and then upgrade to a water cooling system later on down the road when i get some more money. ok now on that note, any sugestions on a good one.

air cooler? Does it matter the size, as bigger ones tend to give the best performance.
