I am in the market for a computer and I am going to buy a computer from DS. The only problem I keep running into is the build. I am looking for a HAF case, at least 6gb of ram, undecided about air or liquid cooled. Want to play at 1920-1200 resolution. Need a monitor, looking to spend about 4000. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

All depends on your budget.. The V8 cooler does just fine though, alot of people get 920s to 4.2 on air..
