Hay, the mod shop sounds great.

By far stay away from pre built kits, there is always a weak spot on them.

Also if you want reliablity dont buy anything plastic.

I love swiftech block for the CPU and have never bought any else. I also enjoy paying the £60 or so to have a full GPU black and i just normally go with what ever is fitting my card at the time.

danger den is always a god shop to buy from, if your in the UK overclockers UK both extremely good if you need to have them shipped some where and dont mind paying the price.


Just some top tips really. I dont fully understand what you are asking tho
