Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!

I want a new CPU cooler instead of the stock cooler because I want to overclock my i7 920 to 4GHz.
I thought about Heatsinks, but they don't give me the re-assuring heat span that I'm looking for, so I chose water cooling. But, I haven't been able to find any CPU water coolers for a VGA 1366 socket and I was wondering if anyone knew what I should buy for this situation.

Note: There's no graphics card here only due to the fact that I am waiting for new ones to come out later possibly around christmas time. Also, maybe all of this stuff will be a little cheaper during that time frame. (not that it matters in my position)

Thanks in advance.

You don't have any integrated video on that motherboard, so unless you have a spare PCI/PCI-e GPU lying around, you must buy one.

The graphics card isn't part of the question. Leave that subject to me. I have a spare Radeon 9250

I found this: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...facture=Asetek

But, I don't know if there's anything better.

So, I have the desire to upgrade my PC. I have been looking at upgrading my GPU, my memory, and my PSU. I have a $120 budget for all 3 (and a little extra for any shipping). I have found some nice deals, but have never been able to assure myself that they are the best deals. I even found a reliable 580W PSU for $24. Yet I still feal like I can get a better deal.

So I have decided to recruit you, the almighty and all knowing awesome guys who I am sucking up to in hopes that you will help me. I'm hoping that you, the community of Modacity, with your infinite wealth and resources, can find me the best deal on the internet.


Please Modacity, you are my only hope.
My MoBo is in my Computer Specs, but if you want to know, my timings are 5-5-5-15.

You won't be able to get all 3 for that amount of money that are better than you current ones. And I can almost guarantee you that PSU will be complete shit, the PSU is the biggest problem because skimping out on PSUs can ruin the rest of your computer.

Actually by the sound of it's reviews it actually works. But you know what, after eating a piece of cake and thinking about it, I have decided to wait and just get a new PC when the money comes in.

Show me.

Sunbeam Hush 580W

The wire bundle is tiny. That thing can't supply 580 watts :lol:

Dude that psu won't power anything! It only has 11 amps on the 12v rail! It will barely power an 8600gt!
