  • Better PSU
  • Motherboard is great, but over priced, MSI just as good
  • GPU to match colour scheme
  • RAM changed to 2400mhz, faster RAM would be a bigger benefit over 1600mhz

How is this compared to your budget?

You shouldn't have any problems with the cooler and Ram combo. It should also fit in the case, as the Alpenfohn K2 which is 1mm smaller in height fits ok.

Taken from the ocuk spec:

100% RAM compatibility
Thanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the coolers will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and guarantees 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans.



I would change the Hard drive though as I don't think the Caviar blacks are worth the price.

Yes thats great but I actually want the Noctua NH-D14 not the slim version is this going to be an issue?

The D14 won't work with the G.Skill ram as it will not fit under it. According to the spec on ocuk it is 160mm tall so it should fit the Ronin ok.
