You need a "decent" PC just to post on a forum?

No, but I haven't had a computer might have been a better way to put it.

A computer.. They are all parts for the liquid cooling.

Other than me not seeing the point of going for nice watercooling hardware but choosing middle-end CPU and GPU, nice build. I would have put the water cooling money on a better performing CPU and GPU instead (a Core i7 with a Radeon HD 7970 GHz edition maybe?) and / or upgrading the RAM to triple buffer (Which Intel CPUs support).

Maybe so.

But this is simply a benchmark build which is why the watercooling was needed.

I have a air-cooled and a LN2 Cooled build in the works for benchmarking.

This watercooling one was simple for that benchmark, and because its something I wanted to do, and it fits in with my colour scheme nicely.
