Don't need an OS, HDD, or Peipherals and I will be using a Korean 1440p monitor

Was wondering about the case since I was looking for a good looking windowed case but this is not in stock yet

Secondly how is the psu and CPU cooler? Do I need any additional parts or wires?

Could some money be saved?

Why the 2 7950's, how about 7970

I will be at 1440p res and I've heard the performance difference is only a couple percent

With the h100 you may want to invest in quieter fans as the standard can sound like a hurricane.

Which other quiet CPU fans would you recommend

At similar price

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 16:02

anyone? the h100i seems a steep step =

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 16:31

so you are saying buy the above with the h100?

will all this fit in the bitfenix ronin?

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 16:40

will need another opinion on the case and fans

You don't need 16gb memory for gaming. Also RAM with such high heatsinks will cause problems with some air coolers.

would you mind recommending some heatsinks or coolers? with above spec?

Some Patriot ram below, but I did see a review with the Team Group memory and this just fitted in with a air cooler.

Ok changed got two of those instead

What about the noise from h100

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 17:09

The fans on the h100

So that Cooler Master Hyper 612S CPU Cooler instead of the h100?

Good air coolers are quieter than AIO water coolers, but they aren't as good for very high overclocks. I personally wouldn't get a refurb H100, and the full price ones are very expensive.

Mind doing a respec

I chose the black mamba ram and 16gig ram

Why choose red 1866mhz?

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 17:31

Yes it's just for gaming maybe hd movies

You think the spec will max at 1440p?

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 17:42

That's out of stock yo what's the difference between modular? Cant be that much?

A modular PSU means you plug in the cables you need rather than have them all fixed.

what about this case from Fractual design

Looks good, would probably be fine with a bit cheaper mobo I'd have thought.

That's what I was thinking,

which mobo would be cheaper but still support the above?

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 19:45

what about the Gigabyte Z87-D3HP
