Hi,

Im thinking about upgrading my lcs a bit furhter, mainly for better performance, looks and future cooling. I have a thermaltake big water cooling system, thermaltake p500 pump,aquabay m5, 3/8" ID 1/2" OD tube, 12cm radiator thermaltake, thermaltake flow meter, original cpu block and the aqua bay m3. Thermaltake armor full tower case, ati 4870x2, 6gb ddr3 1600@1800mhz, gigabyte ga-ex58-ud5 mobo. 1000watt corsair hx1000w psu

So, i run a i7 940 at 3.33ghz and temps is ok at 40-45c idle and 55-62c load. I was thinking of adding an xspc rs240 rad wit two Xigmatek 120mm XLF-F1253 1500RPM - White LED fans, i was thinking of changing the cpu wb with an ek supreme lt plexi waterblock well cause the termaltake one kinda sucks and is old.
I wanted to have the extra 240mm rad for future cooling of the mobo's chipset and mosfets, future/current gpu (4870x2 blasts out heat), plus i would like to think that my cpu will run a bit cooler.
I was wondering whether this would be worth doing? what about the pump sufficient? The aquabay m3 1 unit reservoir keep it? Does anyone know if the ek supreme lt for 1366 will have much of a difference over the thermaltake ?
