I also doubt you need two cases

haha i thought that was expensive!

Maybe consider one of these for the hard drive? Apparently they boot nearly as quick as an SSD. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-283-SE&groupid=1657&catid=1660&subcat=1667

Antec Kúhler H2O 620 Series 4 CPU Watercooler is the cooler i have

I'm using the ssd i have atm (Vertex 3), and the wd black for games, I haven't heard amazing things about hybrids would you recommend them?

Well I already know that the Antec rep or indeed their RMA department doesn't have spares for the kuhler 620's as I asked him about it before when I spotted this thread the other day - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18591827

I would have the top fans as exhaust, and the bottom fans pulling air in.

antrock101 · 8 Apr 2014 at 14:48

Any idea what I can do if they can't provide spares?

The PSU would blow out warm air to the bottom may make the bottom fan as a intake difficult

Didn't know you already had a dedicated SSD, in that case I doubt its worth it. A mate has one in his laptop and it boots very very fast, but aside from that I can't really tell a difference between that and a HDD

I can only suggest buying a new cooler and selling your 620 as fits AMD only item?

antrock101 · 8 Apr 2014 at 15:08

such a shame to waste the money on buying a new one, it's a bit of a pain as i've already had to fork out for a new cpu because amd don't do matx

is this not what i'm after?

No that is for Socket 2011. Your new board will be Socket 1150 so they are incompatible.

antrock101 · 8 Apr 2014 at 15:49

ah well this sucks lol, hopefully the Antec guys will provide good news fingers crossed

Go with the GB board, it's cheaper, unless the MSI offers you something you need.

nicer looking, easier overclocking tools, seems pretty cool for a little bit extra

If you prefer the MSI board and it ticks all your boxes, then go for it.
