thanks stulid, will def consider the psu options, just stuck with a corsair as it has served me without any trouble for 4 years! aswell as my current arctic freezer7 however Gelid does look very good also.

I also forgot to mention in my original post, that I would like to keep the noise of the system down aswell, so any quiet system fans would be welcome etc thanks

These fans are the "bomb" , the 1850rpm is around the "sweet spot" maybe going to the 3000rpm also

i was thinking of putting it in my recommendations box for a super quiet cooler that 'will do' cooling wise, hence asking about the 1450RPM one. i was fairly confident the 1850RPM one would cope just fine with it :)

as for case recommendations i'll put forward my usual suggestion of the raven (doesnt matter which one really). however, if you have any thoughts of watercooling in the future the raven is pretty pants (the corsair youve chosen would be good for that)
