[quote="Driven"]may I ask why AMD?
Like the other tuners highlighted, Sandy Bridges (and lewwe not even start on Ivy Bridges) outshine Bulldozer and previous AMD chips completely for ~$30 USD more. It's much more worthwhile from a price/performance standpoint to go Intel.

Well I already got the motherboard and it's AMD, I always liked AMD- root for the underdogs :mrgreen:

If is video editing you doing more than gaming then best u did go with a sandy bridge setup instead. Even if you do decide to game then the intel will still beat out the amd since you can overclock it as well.

Forget the rooting for AMD, intel outclass them right now.

As for having a 'future proofed' video card, well that term doh exist again since both AMD and Nvidia release new cards at least every year.

since as you already have the AMD MOBO... i would Suggest the Phenom 1075T or the 1090T black edition if you can afford it...
did a system with a 1075 already and it was reallly good..! performance like wow.. and relll stable temps too... idles with Stock cooler at around 29-32C... no a/c...
PSU you can go with the AX850 Corsair... it is the most silent and most powerful PSU i have come across so far... and its fully Modular...

problem solve.. GPU.... if u have an AMD chip.. might as well go ATI... they leading the market now anyways!

.... 6900 series for 7900 series.. your choice... do online reviews an see what suits u and your budget..

whatever you do... see if u can go modular on the PSU. trust me... in the long run... its less a pain in the ass to clean

Only had bad luck with two video cards ever:

MSI 8600GTS: died after a month
EVGA 8800GT: died after a week of non gaming (was sold to me damaged)

Does mostly use Asus, EVGA, XFX, Sapphire, Diamond Multimedia, Powercolor branded cards.

Non conductive coolant.

Used this in my corsair nautilus 500 system as well as an XSPC Rasa system

Using this is my Kandalf system, no problems after two years:

If is distilled water u wanna use, you can use these additives for the anti fungal and anti corrosion protection:

just asking a question WRT piracy etc...isnt giving info on how to port Siri on non iphone 4s devices considered piracy as well??? i coulda sworn i saw ya'll post up a link showing members in here how to port Siri onto their iphone 4 and ipad 2 etc on the official apple thread...but from what i know

“The only way I could see Siri being *legally* available for devices other than the iPhone 4S is when a jailbreak is available for it. A tool could be developed to transfer all required files from the 4S to another possible candidate via USB. Other than that, it would just be straight up piracy as mentioned by@MuscleNerd a few days ago.”

i used this example of the apple thread cuz i know u does be in there alot...dunno how u didnt pic up on that as being piracy as well

^^ Got to agree with you there Casper.

As for indian, liquid cooling is easy man. EVERYTHING you need to know is online.

X2 unless you need serious cooling i dont see the need for an entire water cooled system when there are easily ready kits available

Heck my h50 push/pull going strong so long dont think i will ever change it (righttttttt)
