I'd save cash on the CPU (3570K) and level up the graphics to a GTX 680 for the same money you'll get a better gaming system.

Would'nt the i7 be better for video editing due to hyper threading?

Yes it is better but you'd have to drop the graphics down a level which will reduce frame rates more. Your choice really.

Hey, thanks for the info, would you mind putting together a little example setup of what you would have, using the NZXT phantom case ( as i really like that one ) , within a budget of maybe £1700 including monitor? id appreciate it loads

Looks awesome as hell, my only questions would be, The watercooling you've included in this, would it take much maintainance? and also, would adding another GTX 670 card in, make it last a little longer? Thanks dude

Just keep the fans clean and free of dust (rest of the system too) and it will last years. Maybe top it up every couple of years.

Sounds good mate, and the watercooling, how often should the water be changed?

Shouldn't need replacing as it's de-ionised water that doesn't get Algae issues and component types are mixed so you don't get corrosion. Should only need to keep it topped up every now and again,

Yes they're clear tubes so they'll show whatever coolant you put in them and glow nicely with UV lighting.
Obviously if you get white tubes you won't see your coolant however Mike |
