    So im looking at maybe making myself a new high end gamer, possibly water cooling the sh*t outta it, how up to date are the specs in the above sticky.

    Probably going with a Temjin TJ06. Any thoughts anyone, been a while since i was looking at hardware so im a bit out of the loop. Any specs for an upper range gamer qould be appreciated, and by specs i dont mean just throw down the top of the range lists off sites, i am looking for hardware that people here already have and that works sweetly.

    Cheers amigos

    Not really up to date, from a cursory look.

    Nice case. My hardware works great. Can play any game at high-res.
    Check out my sig for the list of stuff.

    Me, go overboard? Nah, you've got the wrong guy ;)

    Got most of it from either ww.komplett.ie, www.overclock.co.uk or www.overclockers.co.uk
    Paid quite a bit. :p

    my new rig is up to date enough, the only thing to come yet is more HDD space, and a next gen ATI card.

    Love my setup although there are a few items in there that could be upgraded. No water cooling for me though, twas my first self-build so I was nervous enough. :D
