This is what I've come up with so far but I still need to decide on a PSU and a cooling method. I really want to do phase change cooling but then I still have to WC everything else. So advice on WC and WC+PC solutions? I've used the Koolance Exos in the past and it developed a stress a crack and sprung a leak after the warranty was up but it was great up until then, lol. I can't seem to find any places online that are selling the prometia mach 2 gt with the case and I'd rather not try to hack up a case. So many stores are out of stock. And the one place I had bookmarked before is also out of stock. I want to OC a lot obviously. I'm just so torn on the PSU and Cooling setup so any help is greatly appreciated. I'd hate to air cool this.

Do you already have the Raptor? If not, you'd surely be getting the Velociraptor, no? Does that super-high-end X-fi card bring anything you need that the generic version doesn't?
 
Yeah, the uber one has optical in and out. There is a cheaper one that has the same ports but sound is kind of important for my uses so I'll spring for the extra $40 just in case what I read about different ram was right, lol. I'll look at the velociraptor. I've bought nothing yet. It's just sitting in my newegg wishlist until I can hit buy with confidence.
 
Definately check out the Velociraptor, much better than the older Raptors. Might want to check eBay for one of them also - the 30% cashback from Microsoft gives some tasty prices there.
