Corsair Hydro Series H110 280mm High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
So the time has come to replace my 8 year old aging AMD64. I am basically working on a 2-2.5k budget, and the above is what I can get for that sort of budget range (I am from Australia and things ain't so cheap here).
Anyways, the short term plan is to OC the CPU...the long term plan being to eventually get a better GPU (once prices fall and the current one start to struggle), and the option up to 32GB RAM (if we ever get the need for that much in near future, there is the option for more Hard drive and/or even the option of SSD...etc).
From what I already read about the motherboard, it seems nice and easy to OC things with it. The case can fit up to 9 fans (case comes with x4 fans already installed), and there is the water cooling option.
...and here lie my dilemma with water cooling
1. should i go with the Armaggeddon which looks complicated to install (as this is my first time dealing with liquid cooling), or the Corsair Hydro which seems much easier to install?
2. any suggestions re: something different/better I should be installing instead as far as cooling goes welcomed.
