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.

thanks, do you really need liquid cooling for oc the cpu or would the v8 be ok with it? or is air cooled just for keeping everything stock?

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

liquid allows better OCing then does air. but the v8 is great too, if you can afford it, go with LC
