Does the benefits outway the cost of a liquid cooled gaming pc?

A liquid cooled gaming pc cost about 500 bucks more than a conventional fan cooled.I was wondering if it is worth it or not.

You realy only need a liquid cooling if you intend to drasticly overclock your CPU, RAM and your graphics card to increase performance...otherwise its not worth it, you can get away with stock cooling if you only do some minor overclocking and if you intend to do a bit more overclocking a nice big heatsink and fan will easily suffice
Reply:If you are a really hardcore gamer, not a casual one, I mean 5-15 hours a day every day on something like Battlefield 2 or 2142 then yes, but even if you play 2-3 hours a day on a game like Farcry or Farcry 2 it's not worth it. Liquid cooled machines are for the hardcore gamer.
Reply:I'm considered a "hard core gamer" buy some definition. I DON'T have liquid cooling on my system and I'm not going to either. What I have now works just fine for me, which is not a stock cooling system but, beefed up ones with after market heat sinks and fans.
Reply:It's not worth the cost at all because technology is constantly improving far faster than you'll be able to afford the latest and greatest, because if you're even asking about the cost of liquid cooled systems, you won't be able to keep pace buying all the new crap. Spend less money on the newest stuff and wait 6 months when it's half as much.
