Is the h100 a good choice for the setup above or would I be fine with a regular CPU cooler

The PSU has to go mate, there is a XFX 850W for just a tenner more and that's made by Seasonic.

That's a fair comment, consider it done do you know if everything else I've chosen is compatible and will all fit together okay?

The H100 may not fit the 300R (depends on the board and what VRM cooling it has)

A BitFenix Ronin will fit and is the same price- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-129-BX&groupid=2362&catid=1850

Ah great cheers for the heads up. So if I go for the bitfenix case will everything I listed above fit and be compatible?

 

[stulid]

It will, but the money spent on those five fans can be used on an even better case.

I'm more than open to a build spec from you using the main components i listed one other part I was questioning was the mobo, is that a good choice for oc and sli?

Okay took onboard the suggestions you guys had, new PSU and upgraded to the Corsair 500r rather than 300r. It offers better cooling and is preinstalled with more fans so i could cut out the additional ones.

Parts I'm unsure about are the motherboard and RAM, the RAM above is out of stock so i changed for something else, am I fine with dual channel?

Thanks for the suggestion, will look into that mobo and will take your suggestion of SSD. Although i keep changing my mind every 5 seconds I think the 500r is the case I want to go for, not a huge fan of the bitfenix one.

Overall though, I'm good for compatibility and space, clearance etc?

 

[stulid]

Yes you are, the 500R will take the H100 easily.

 

[Twincharged]

Awesome, thanks very much for your help. Hopefully next time I'm back here it will be to show off my new rig
