stage 3 lc is better, but you don't need it, the Noctua will do a great job.

if you lc the cpu/gpu, then hailstorm has more room.


for air system teh haf is great.

for your res ati will do great, but if you want to wait for the fermi you can, both companies have had driver problems in the past.

if you have a hot room LC can't help you much since the hot air will be blowing thru the rad's fans.

The D14 fans are huge but they supposively perform very well. If your worried about temps go with the D14 its well worth the money.

You can read up on them here:

If you're looking to spend a little more you can always upgrade your harddrive to something faster and raid or grab the Corsair 256gb SSD for a decent price.

I hear that monitor is awesome though so if you can spend the money get it ;p

Wait for Nvidia or go ATI?  That is a tough call.  I am a little bugged by the delays for the Fermi based cards, but you might not be.  The way I am handling it is that I am running more than one PC at home and I have one reserverd for Nvidia's bad boys.  But regarding ATI drivers, I am running a 5850 with no issues ATM.  However, I see nothing wrong with having a favorite.  I mean it is your money.  So, if you heart is set on a Fermi then pick an interim card that you can live with.  I am using a 260 216 OC until the big day.  But I just can see holding up my entire system waiting for Nvidia roll out the Fermi based card.  Your budget is big enough to do that.  

Yeah I'm probably going to wait until Fermi has been out a while. The computer im using now is a Pentium D 3.0. 2g ram @667 and 2x 7800 GT's. Mainly playing the total war series which i just love strategy games.

In the meantime though I will go ahead and buy a nice keyboard/mouse and pull the trigger on that dell ultrasharp. I just hope the gtx 480 will be something worth waiting for.. i'll be a little ticked if its not much better than a 5870 :(

Originally posted by DST4ME well I'm thinking worst case scenario, it will bring the prices of the ati cards down, and that will help whoever that wants go go ati, but I'm an nvidia fan so I want it to kick-ass but we just have to wait and see, too many bs rumors going around right now.

Thats for sure, their twitter page doesn't really tell much other than link to some event sigh :( I want details damnit!
