Hi,

This is what I am purchasing now:

BitFenix Shinobi German Edition Windowed
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Motherboard
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz S1150
MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB OC
Corsair CX500M Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 6GB/s

All I need to choose from is Memory and possibly a CPU Cooler.

Memory it is between these two:

I like the look of the Avexir to match the look but are the crucial ones not better?

And as for a CPU cooler I was going to get the Cooler Master 212 EVO but they are not in stock. Does anyone recommend another at the same price that is just as good or should I wait?

Also I am pondering about the BitFenix Shinobi case, I have heard mixed things. Is there a case close to that price range that's much better?

Thanks

Yeah I have been swaying between the two motherboards but is the G45 not better?

Also if I got the Team Group memory, will they fit with the Shadow Rock cooler?

Avexir are just as good imo, go with them and see if you like it or go with stulid.

The cooler, the hyper 212 evo could be worth the waiting time. however if you want to get this thats a little bit more expensive:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Alpenföhn Matterhorn Pure Edition CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £29.99
Total : £35.96 (includes shipping : £4.98).



Or go with stulid's bundle option, the G45 isnt really much different.

The Bitfenix Shinobi is a really decent case, however the temps can be a bit warm at times.
 
I think I am going more towards the G45 and Avexir and waiting for the 212 EVO.

Can you recommend a similar case other than the BitFenix Shinobi around the same price?

Click to expand...

on the gigayte board if your only using 2 memory sticks it tells you to use the green/grey slots (whatever colour they are) so you don't use the slot directly under the cooler, although you could mount the cooler so the fan isnt facing the memory slots I guess if you went for the shadow rock
