Upgrading to a 5930k and 750 Series SSD, need new motherboard, CPU Cooler and Ram

NickTheMajin

Retail edge holiday deal happens on the 10th. I'm planning on getting the 5930k and 750 Series SSD. 

 

Right now I've got an Asus z87-a, 4670k and ddr3 ram. Gotta upgrade to an LGA 2011 motherboard and pick up DDR4 ram. I also need a good CPU cooler. 

 

Recommendations? I've got a Fractal Design R4 case without the extra hard drive bays so it's pretty spacious.

Just get some reputable quad channel memory ddr4 (Corsair, Kingston, G.Skill my favourites), I like the MSI Krait boards, but Asus solid also. Cooler, don't know, Im custom water looped

Corsair H100 or NZXT Kraken - 61 should both easily fit in that case.

They're getting better now, my first experience was with a H80 that was louder than my Evo 212 at same temps and i mean a lot louder, it was that which drove me to make a custom loop
