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

Why not, some are coming through with 1 year warranty

I'd still not get a refurb myself in case of leaks, though I do like how they look.

The fans on the h100

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

The stock fan on that 612S is really really quiet. Great little cooler, but an awkward bugger to fit.

You should try my Dark Rock Pro. It's designed for people with 6 arms.

I chose the black mamba ram and 16gig ram

Why choose red 1866mhz?

If this is only for gaming you're just wasting money on 16gb RAM. This memory would be fine as well:

Yes it's just for gaming maybe hd movies

You think the spec will max at 1440p?

teppic · 18 Aug 2013 at 17:35

Then 8GB is absolutely plenty. Save the money or put it towards something that makes a difference. You could get a modular PSU for example.

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

teppic · 18 Aug 2013 at 18:00

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

what about this case from Fractual design

teppic · 18 Aug 2013 at 18:51

The case you get is up to you, but the 612 is a large cooler so you'll have to make sure it fits.

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 18:52

will it fit in the above?

teppic · 18 Aug 2013 at 18:55

Check the specs of the case and cooler and see...

deadpresidents4 · 18 Aug 2013 at 18:58

it would appear so yes

Cleisthenes · 18 Aug 2013 at 19:02

I would've suggested getting one set of 4x4gb ram as then you know 100% that they'll work together.

Looks good to me.

Potty27 · 18 Aug 2013 at 19:34

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