    Default Final Build Critiques. Then I am placing the order. :D

    Looking at a complete upgrade to get back into boxing. As I have sold everything I had for it when I moved across the country. I am living in the tropics of Australia, an awesome place for stuff in the sun, not so much for a computer that will be sitting in idle temperatures of at least 20C/70F on average. Air conditioning can be used, but not all the time.

    Electricty can be quite large up here. (Roughly $.38 per unit, so for example a dryer being used for an hour costs about $3.00) Aside from pricey electricty, I will be using a few extra fans in a push/pull configuration along with the liquid cooler. I will have external fans (ceiling and wall fans being used to circulate the air in the room) so the temperature will never go passed 25C/80F.

    Now this isn't the final systemn, but I am certain that it is overkill for 5 boxing WoW, but I am looking for something that I can use for the next 2 years, as I dont have the income to get the bleeding edge every year.
