Friends have got a 4770k (I also had one for a while, OC'd very well) - seems like a ruddy bugger to OC for most without delidding and thought may aswell go for the 4790 since it was cheaper and faster on stock. I dont really OC much anyway, not until i need it.

May spring for "K" type chip when broadwell hits. Main reason i went for Z97 is purely the price difference wasn't much and leaves me room to take advantage of a K chip if i ever go for one, H100i was purely as i think they look nice (yes, i am a sucker).

I tend to buy all out, get as much longevity out of the PC as possible.

H105 is a better all-in-one as it has a thicker rad.

Aye was £25 more than the refurb H100i i picked up.

Sorry if this sounds harsh.
You're spending £1800, £25 difference for an important part like a heatsink isn't even a drop in the ocean.
**More so if you may at some point overclock this or the next chip you get.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Hehe no, good point. Changed to H105.
