For gaming, mine. 2 GTX 670. For gaming most of the work is done by the gpu rather than cpu.

I think we have both got the same specs ;) I had to change mine instantly after i posted it because I say the post mentioning he wanted sli. A 3930k couldn't be fit into the budget with 670 sli. So, both our specs are the same! I only saw your spec after I had posted mine. The only difference I see is the RAM, you may as well get 16GB and the cooler, I made a different suggestion if you look :) !

Sorry :) when I saw your spec it was 3930k and only 1 gtx 670 and I based my comment on that. (he needs a monitor)

I personally would not recommend a water cooler. They can occasionally burst but that isn't too much of an occurance anymore! Top end air coolers do beat the all-in-one cooling loops performance wise. They are also, often quieter! Anyway, your choice!

I'd suggest doing some research on what you really need, eventhough your budget is £1900 you do not need to spend all of it.

Very true, good advice. As for the cooler, the nh-d14 outperforms (I could be wrong but I am pretty certain) all the liquid coolers that PCS provide!

Difficult to tell since there are no benchmarks (as far as I know) of the new coolit cpu coolers but the coolit dualradiator should have similar performance to the corsair h100 and from this review the h100 performs slightly better in terms of noise and temperature however I have also seen other reviews where the nh-d14 performs slightly better than the h100.
http://www.guru3d.com/article/corsair-h100-review/7

My preference for coolit as opposed to the titan is for aesthetics, less bulky and easier to access your motherboard (e.g. memory) as well as less noisy.

I'd agree that you do get problems with the big air coolers when accessing the mobo. I had also seen the coolit dual rad being close to the h100. H100 vs Noctua nh-d14 is a very common comparison and they both trade blows temps wise. However, where the noctua wins I have found is it is significantly quieter apparantly! As for reliability, H100s seem to be OK, however, water coolers can burst, a noctua only stops when you hit it with a bat (you can't miss ;) ) and even then it'll probably keep going! The problem with it though is that it does look like your PC has got a tumour!
