Hi Guys,

Starting a new gaming build. I have a 3TB 7.2k drive from an old system and would like the option to SLI in the future.

Would appreciate any input:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Hydro H105 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060016-WW ) £89.99
1 x Cooler Master Nepton 240M AIO Cooling Solution £79.99
Total : £179.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Those two coolers dont use the horrible Link software that the H100i does which has compatibility issues with Win8.1, plus my H100i is giving me trouble recently so another reason to hate it.

Be careful what type of GTX 970/980 you choose with the Air 240 case.

If you get one that has the heat pipes protruding from the top, you might find you can't get the side panel back on as they stick out too much.
