Im planning on robbing a bank sometime over the next 5-10 months, so I can fund building a custom water cooling loop. Ive been watched a couple videos on youtube over it/done minimal research, and it doesn't seem too difficult, just pricey.

Question I have is anyone here have any experience with custom water loops? If my suspicions of it not being too difficult are true? So on and so forth.

I dont really have too much of a need to build it, but I'm horribly irresponsible with money.
I don't have any personal experience but if it leaks, at all, you're -blam!-.
I recall from one of the videos I was watching earlier, that the fluids are often anti-conductive fluids. So how much would it really screw the computer over if its anti-conductive?

Oh. I though you were using actual water xD well either way it wouldn't be good if it leaked.

If the water route is taken (im assuming there are other fluids used aside from water), then it is usually distilled water. Pure water is a crappy conductor of electricity. At any rate, if I do get around to building this, then I will indeed avoid leaking any fluids at all, unless of course they bribe me otherwise.

Posted by: Xx idunno xXI have no experiences with building a custom loop, but I can tell you that it's all for looks. Your system won't run any quieter or cooler. In fact, some loops actually make the CPU run hotter. The main benefit of loops is for the GPU, and you can get a decent kit for about $500. Make a thread on Overclock.net asking for help.

My thoughts exactly.

Anyway, when I launch Saints Row the Third, after the part when it says "do not turn off the computer while the game is loading huehue", it just closes and steam says "finishing installation". After that doesn't work, it gives me the error code 53. How do I fix this?

I would find out where he lives and pummel him in the face until he suffered severe bran damage

Yes, but what if he has oatmeal or cornflakes? Will you continue to pummel him in the face until all his breakfast options are no longer viable?

I'm planning on building a PC for gaming and schoolwork (By schoolwork, I mean mainly word-processing) and my budget is around $400, but I can go higher if needed. Any recommendations for parts?

Really you can't buy a bad word processing comp for $400. I can never do a cheap build so I'm sure someone else will make on LOL!

Yeah... disregard my previous post. I can probably manage on my own.

Yeah custom water cooling sounds like a risky, expensive idea lol.

This is all you need for that Word processor.

You'll have about 30GB left for other programs (60 - 20GB for Windows - 4GB RAM). If you want to do a little more, grab a 128GB SSD.

Finally, fixed my CPU temps. It idles at 35C and I ran Prime95 for 5 minutes and it never passed 55C.

Here you are: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/v5Af

This build will also allow you to play some easier to run games.

Posted by: EvilBad6666This is between the 7850 and the 650, and it still looses by a ton. The 7850 is way better.

He's not out for your best interests. He just wants to sell the product.

But it do.

So does anybody want to play something? I have GTA 4, Saints Row 3, Left 4 Dead 2, and Chivalry. Those are the main multiplayer games that I have.

And also what's better, a 6770 Core Edition or an EVGA 650? I want to know if I made the right choice between the two cards.

So according to someone at Tiger Direct this is better than this for gaming.

I think the guy at Tiger Direct is crazy, but if anyone disagrees can you explain why? I'm not talking about whether he's crazy or not just if he's right or wrong.

Also, I'm just wondering, does Tiger Direct have some sort of reason to go against the AMD Radeon HD 7850 for gaming? I'm really confused as someone who's supposed to know about computers is saying something that's going against everything else I've seen.

EDIT: Yes I'm posting this again but I need to know if someone disagrees. I'm really unsure about this now that the guy at Tiger Direct said what he did...
Whoever told you that has literally no idea what he's talking about, at all. Report him to the manager for being incompetent at his job.
