intel FTW!!!

anyways yeah do look into the monitor you are buying and read some reviews and make sure it can handle fps games without ghosting if you are willing to down grade to a 19" there are lots of good ones out there and take a look in the "how many inches do you want" thread that docwonder posted there are some good things to learn about lcd monitors in there

personally i think its too soon to go out and get a dual core cpu because they have not worked it all out yet to give real good preformace i would suggest waiting some years before looking into the dual core trend

my suggestion would be looking into only getting a 19" as i said before unless you are really into getting that 20"+ one

you wont lose much area and you will save about 200$ which you can spend on a better vid card or cpu :)

If your water cooling dont puss out on one of those fag ass kits.

Do it up gangsta style.

http://www.crazypc.com/products/PX9314BL.html
Radiator

http://www.crazypc.com/products/9339.html
pump

http://www.crazypc.com/products/93031.html
WaterBlock

http://www.crazypc.com/products/93252.html
Tubing

http://www.crazypc.com/products/9340.html
Clamps

Go to Walmart and get a 1L container and make a custom reservoir...You can get some niples from home depot. The best reserviors are the sqaure ones..easier to waterproof the holes you cut.

heres a good link. http://www.overclockers.com/tips1089/


Thats my cooling setup right now
