Just be aware that the Antec H1200 has Blue LED fans so it might not go well if you are planning a red/white/black sort of theme. It is a good cooler for the money though.

take a look at an x99 set up before blowing you load and a fancy quad core

You are talking £100 or more over a Skylake build though at current prices.

its only £2 more than his own spec.

Edit: if you take off the postage it would £11 cheaper

 

[astar0]

Thanks for your responses. I will look more into x99 before making a decision.
