Will this be easy to overclock?
I am thinking of buying a custom computer that hopefully should be easy for me to overclock without liquid cooling within a few minutes. Am I choosing a decent motherboard for it?
Case -> Cooler Master HAF 932 (RC-932-KKN1-GP)
Power Supply -> Antec Earthwatts EA650 80PLUS 650W
Socket 1155 Motherboard -> Microstar P67A-C43
Processor -> Intel Core i7 2600K
CPU Cooler -> Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B.
Thermal Compound -> Arctic Silver 5 Polysynthetic Silver
Memory -> Kingston ValueRAM PC3-10600 4GB x 4
Video Card -> EVGA GeForce GTS 450 Superclocked DVI/2
Hard Drive -> Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.12 7200 RPM
This comes to $1,300 before shipping & taxes, which the latter I hope won't be applicable.
Note that my wife hates air conditioning, so I need to have very good cooling.
>I suggest this setup:
I would recommend the following to you if you have the money...
I think the cpu will be really important. Right now Intel has a problem with their chipset for the new Sandy Bridge, so I will stick with AMD. I think we can do one better and advise you to get the best cpu AMD has right now, the AMD 1100T:

$239.99
I think this motherboard is excellent:

$139.99
I suggest this ANTEC 850 Watt PSU:

$119.99
I suggest this video card...

$219.99
I prefer the ANTEC 1200 Case over the HALF, and I think its a better case myself:

Stick with a cpu cooler around $60. There are several choices on Newegg, just look it up.
the DVD ROM drive, I would get a TEAC:

$47.99
I figure RAM is really REALLY important, and a low cas latency, paired set is crucial. Mushkin is a top name, you pay more but you get superior performance - 8 Gigs should be more than sufficient for you!

You can get this hard disk for the same cost, right now, on sale, $20 discount:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
$99.99 with $20 discount = $79.99
You will need a tube of thermal paste, I suggest Arctic Silver 5, $10 on Newegg.
I suggest pme OEM copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
$179.99
That all adds up to $1412.90
Now this is a really nice computer and I think it worth the money, if you have it.
