I can't decide!

MoYo

Hey guys!

 

I am a little stuck at the moment. After working a whole month I wanted to upgrade my pc/gaming experience a bit.

 

I can't decide between:

           

          -Watercooling my pc (cpu + gpu) specs are in my sig. It would be a really fun project to do and it would look awesome. The cost of it would be a little pricey at around €600.

 

          -Getting another MSI hd 7950 and a korean 1440p monitor with samsung display (this one:http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/QNIX-QX2710-LED-Evolution-ll-Matte-27-2560x1440-SAMSUNG-PLS-27in-PC-Monitor-/111078161308?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item19dcc63b9c&_uhb=1) price would be around €500.

 

I'm leaning a little bit to the watercooling because it would be awesome to do. would probably do a build log too.

 

Any suggestions, opinions  and pros and cons of the options are very welcome.

current system:  i5 2500k @4.5ghz cooled by antec 620 - asrock z77 extreme 4 - 8gb corsair RAM - MSI Twin Frorz 7950 in crossfire - XFX 850w  - Fractal design R4 - samsung 840 120gb ssd - 500gb wd blue hdd - 1440p korean qnix monitor (love it!)

The 2nd one, watercooling is something you should do after you have nothing else what so ever to do in my opinion.

Or you have silly amounts of money to throw around.

I'm going to say watercool your system with some stipulations, make sure it's gravity fed from a well in Ireland.....

 

The bunnies hop along through the grassy meadow in search of the end of the rainbow, they come across a strange light shining in a well that hums with a slight sound of power.  As they jump through the well they get sucked into an endless vortex and end up where?!?!?!

 

In you computer that's where.

 

Cool that shit down yo.

 

Although I'd buy the monitor and card first tbo.

well it's one option or the other, I earned some money but I'm not going to spend it al for both options. I'll probably be going with option 2 as everybody suggested. I hope 2 7950's will last for atleast 3 years on a 1440p monitor.

I might watercool my pc in the future but that won't be before my next job next summer :)

since your allready kinda decided, it doesn't matter, but as long your temps are in your comfort zone, you're fine without water cooling.

remember, watercooling your system is one thing, but it has maintence (or whatever it is :P english not my mother language) costs. like draining your loops in time, retubing if needed etc... + if your pump breaks, you can't use your pc untill you have a new one obviously. and if at that point you don't have money to spend on it, then you are screwed.

and also: performance increasing allways should come first if you're spending money on pc, unless you're spending money on just looks for later perfomance increasing, or if your temps are to high, but i see that as perfomance increasing :P
