later to get a another set to bring total to 4mb of memory i really use my system and need the extra power.

Kingwin - Arctic Liquid Cooler - Self-Contained CPU and VGA Liquid Cooling System
this is the type of HDD water block i have chosen:

http://www.svc.com/03-l-9010.html

as i have not put this together yet before i plumb the water cooling system i wish to add this HDD water Block probalby two of them because i will be running 2 - 250 gb 3.5 drives. now this type of HD Block has the Push on fittings. the reason i want the harddrive coolers is i already have like four large fans running for a total of 8 in system not including the cpu. and the temps still are to much for a Intel 1.7g 1024mb memory with 512 nvidia graphics card i am a power user and stress the system a lot. also the
The fittings that are included with the block are 5/8 “ OD and 3/8” ID, with the Asetek products have a “push on” type of fitting much unlike the more standard “barb” type fitting

Default devil in the details

most of the stuff is already purchased as i live on disability things were purchased over time say 3 years. except for the hdd cooler and video card which will be purchased next month. i should elaborate on systems uses i use a lot of adobe products memory and video hogs. i also use a lot of autodesk products also hogs. plus on average i download 25 thirty apps a day i am obsessive compulsive on this. i also use Microsoft products to program databases etc. i also keep 12-13 windows open at any one time. so you see i use the system quite a bit this is everyday 24-7. the case i have is optimized for cooling but have tried the fan/air way and not satisfied with results. since i cannot afford a sub-zero cooling type system. i can only go with what i glean from here. my decisions mostly are in tune with finances but leaning toward the performance and upgrade-ability in the future. been in this business for 30 years so i have seen them come and go. so i am not a newbie and i think i have thought out the process throughly.

It sounds like you do a lot of multi-tasking. I think maybe you should consider a dual core processor, it will make a big difference.
