    Kensai, I've not long built a new system myself... and i hope this will do me roughly 3 years (with maybe a graphics upgrade sometime)..

    intel Q6600 2.4Ghz (now overclocked at 3.4Ghz)

    Tuniq tower cooling

    8GB Corsair dominator XMS2 pc 8500 (now overclocked from 1066Mhz to 1200 Mhz)

    Asus P5Q-e (great board for noob freindly overclocking and a good layout for connections)

    IceQ 4 Turbo HD4850 (comes overclocked and still has room for further o/c) - great cooling fan and very quiet too

    Kingwin mach 1 900w PSU (modular and looks the bomb!)

    Akasa Omega case with window side panel - huge inside and not too heavy. It will fit ANYTHING you throw at it, its quiet and has a good cooling.

    I thought about the i7 but its just too expensive when coupled with the X58 mobo and DDR3 ram (you'll need at least 3gig). The only thing i may need to upgrade in future is the GPU, or buy a second card to run crossfire... You must one helluva budget to looking at the i7 stuff!

    I agree with yellowlightman, P2 is the best. Its dark, gritty and moody.. and a bit different to most anime mech shows/movies. Its actually got quite a believable storyline.

    Thinking of getting a new system now. I got a good lineup ready, but just wanted to ask a few very general questions.

    With cooling components, it seems to me that the only difference with a Liquid vs Fan is the noise issue. Is one better than the other really? LCS don't seem that much more expensive.

    Also, which components of a complete PC (such as DVD Burner, RAM, All in one Card reader) can I be less fussy about when buying to put together in a computer? I understand that there are some BIG differences such as CPU and Graphics card, but those little things I mentioned before I'm not sure if I want to bother thinking about too much.

    Liquid cooling does provide a higher rate of coling over air and thus better for overclocking. If you're just building a system for everyday type use, i'd go for air cooling or even a passive tower cooling (look up a "tuniq tower").

    You'd be right not to skimp on the cpu and graphics card, but also save some budget for RAM as it is easily one of the most imporant components and the difference between cheap 'generic' ram and the decent stuff is huge! - i'd stick to ddr2 for the time being as there is no real performance gain for you extra cash on ddr3.

    Power supply is also somewhere that cannot be skimped on. A good solid power supply can save your system! Always plan ahead so go for something slightly more powerfull than you need right now, that way you will the room for expansion (extra hard drives, new graphics card etc.)

    As for the other bits, card reader - meh... they're all more or less the same. dvd burner - well, personally, i'd opt for a sata drive as i hate having ot tidy IDE cables, but either would be fine (and to be honest, there is very little difference in price among optical drives so long as you dont look at blu ray)

    What's your ringtone??

    Inspector Gadget original cartoon theme for the ringing tone and... "SPOOOOOON" (courtesy of the TICK) for messages..

    and since my phone is a flip open (Nokia N76), i have the transformers transforming sound for when i open/close it... (2 different sounds) which i know is oh so cheesey but everyone that hears it thinks its ace and i end up bluetoothing it to pretty much everyone.
