and after gaming and general computing on this thing I'm happy but i feel like its running a little...slow and hot(not by much 30c Idle and around 35-40c when gaming) so my question is do you think this is a good build? should i of picked something else? if so what?! and is 30c idle bad considering the cooler?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

P.S i overclocker my cpu to 4.2 if that helps at all the the Graphics card runs around 35c+ idle and ive seen it peak to 50c when gaming but that comes OC'ED.

It's a decent set up. Personally I would have got a 4790k, paid the extra fiver for the Asus Z97-A as it's a better board and I wouldn't have gone with a Kraken for cooling the gpu. You will need to buy some heatsinks the the vrm chips on the gpu as the Kraken doesn't come with any. With regards to it being "slow" have you checked that the gpu isn't throttling due to high vrm temps (use Gpu-z)? Temps are about right as Haswell is hot running anyway.

NZXT have no European support currently and there are plenty of horror stories around regarding RMA issues. I'd steer clear until they have it fully sorted

Needless to say 10months without an EU support team is absolutely crazy.
