Im new to building PC and getting to understand the technical bits. could you tell me what an AIO is please, sorry about this.

Sasquatch_ibra · 29 Dec 2014 at 12:24

ahh ok thanks, something like Corsair H80i or H100i ?

Sasquatch_ibra · 29 Dec 2014 at 12:32

ok thanks for your help mate, with the Fan Heatsinks, are you able to change the fans to the Bitfenix Spectre Pro 140mm or 120mm ?

thanks bery much for your help mate, just last thing i need to ask.

Is there much difference between the samsung 850 ssd and the Crucial MX100 SSD ?

Sasquatch_ibra · 29 Dec 2014 at 12:51

ahh ok cool, il go with the Crucial MX100 SSD, but get 512GB.

Just to finalise things you 100% sure this Heatsink Noctua NH-U12S Ultra-Quiet Slim CPU Cooler with NF-F12 Fan will be compatible in my case and the Bitfenix Pro fans can replace the stock Fans
