(Unless you're fortuneteller, but then again you wouldn't have the money issue - given you're good, lol)

2nd: Your are burning money.

You don't need:

- Gaming Ram, VR will do the same job and keeps certain problems away

- 900W PSU: WTF??? For what? A 750W will be enough for 480SLI. I'd say 550-650 and you're fine.

- liquid cooling: pls explain? They are loud, more expensive, consume more power and are not so much better than aircoolers.

- W7, some money to be saved here, maybe not so legal but...


Edit: I see others replied faster.

Well:
This gaming RAM is at least cheaper than some normal... almost in the shop I see it... but... you know if there are some problem with this RAM??
The Coolit ECO kit is the cheapest liquid cooling kit I´ve seen in the market with good reviews for OC, but I repeat... this is a option I´m evaluating... Not sure.
About W7... I´m poor but LEGAL. You Start saying this and when BoB releases... then you may think... well...some money to be saved here, maybe not so legal but...
I hope not your case...

I would never put OM in the same box as Microsoft.

I did indeed (illegally) download IL2 when I first heard about it - that was 10month ago - I though WW2 Prop Sim? 10 years old? Probably sux anyway. I was proven wrong. I already invested a lower 4digit sum in PC hardware and peripherals due to it - and I own a hardcopy of IL2 by now.

CoolIT: The Domino is/was one level over the ECO right?

4ghz +/-.2 sound realistic for the 955, you can stick with air.

What advantage do you expect from the gaming ram compared to value ram?

I hope not your case...

I can assure you: I have no problem spending money for something I like and think it's worth it.
SoW is one of those things.

OK it seems the domino is over ECO... but cheaper.
I dont expect a significant increase of performance with this ram comparing with VR... but thinking in future OC if this have better features (heat sink and timing) better performance...

huh? they basically say: the domino is a piece of shit.

Most Ram heatsinks generally don't work at all(well, they do: as heat keeper), they look cool though...

S!

Seems that if you look at the comments from Oleg regarding FM/DM/CEM etc. is that they have hundreds of things monitored. Then SoW would possibly be more CPU dependant than GPU. Any of today's GPUs can dish out very good performance in DirectX 9/10 and now 11 too. Iit is to be seen how well SoW code has been compiled and optimized to really use several cores of a CPU for calculations.

HUHH!!! sorry...
I understood wrong...
