I did the same thing with my HDD kit - what radiators are you running then to cool all that? I see the 360 at the top, but don't actually see any others?
Sata 2 is fine for an SSD. Don't waste your money on a controller card imo.
I run sata 2, you still get 260MB/s read/write, which is plenty more than a HDD.
And the main thing about SSD's are the seek times anyway.
Get a new case with cable management, then all you need is the sleeving and it will look tidy :)
Then of course with that, you can then do a full watercooling jobby :p
I also have an 830 - probably one of the best drives out - check in the BIOS to ensure the SATA ports are running in AHCI mode...
I'd get a 240 then - most cases will fit a 240 and if you're getting a new case, you can get one which will fit 2 of them, or even more!
I really want the Corsair 900D, my 800D just seems so limited compared to it :(.
What are you watercooling, just the GPU?
I have 1x 360 and 1x 140 for a CPU+GPU - I'd not go less than a 120 for CPU (assuming you have a decent fan with high static pressure - otherwise a 240 for nice temps), and possibly the same for GPU.
Tbh it all depends how cold you want it to run...
^ What bright specced is essentially exactly what I'd spec!
If you can find the components cheaper in certain retailers then do it, and hopefully avoid the shipping costs.
GPU probably not needed, unless you do a lot of editing then you'll see some benefit.
You'll get a whole new pc for that kinda budget tbh, and it will be a massive improvement.
Will spec one up in a bit, check OcUK forums in General Discussion and search for "Spec me" threads - hundreds upon hundreds of already good specs, and some will be £600.
