Almost done buying the parts for a brand new system, I have the 4770k, Corsair 750D, Corsair 850W modular PSU.
I am ordering the motherboard today and want to get the heatsink also. The motherboard I have chosen is the Asus Z87 PRO.
I have no idea what heatsink to go with, I am not opposed to a easy to install water cooling closed loop system or a very good air based one. I really have no idea what would be best. I don't want to break any records here, I just want something that will be stable and give me a good overclock.
The memory I will be using was going to be 2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws gaming series. I bought this last year but now I am not sure it even works with the new 1150 platform. Either way I can buy new memory if I need to.
Price isn't a massive issue but I don't want to be spending crazy money. I was looking at the Phantek heatsinks or maybe the corsair all in one water cooling but I just need some advice here.
I love the idea of water cooling but am nervous about using them, are those Corsair Hydro H80i etc any good and are they reliable?
