Ok Im gonna get the Noctua nh-d15 and another 8GB of Curcial Ram ~Thanks for the help

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2136734/d15-fit-fractal-define.html Yes someone said I'll have 55MM of leeway but if i get more ram will it fit?

Yes I will and idk my case is a fractal design define r4 let me check

I do have my CPU on boost clock the stock is 3.7 its at 4.0 but I'm not using the stock thermal paste

The noctua cooler is a beast I have about 160$-170$ to work with I could go the SSD and get a 120GB Kingston SSD (60$) and just get an h80i and these will all be bough of amazon because I have a 30$ Gift card But I wouldn't be able to get more ram..

I use firefox, no I usually have Teamspeak and Steam running, When looking up my motherboard when I first saw this problem http://www.gigabyte.com/Products/product-page.aspx?pid=4709#ov I remember reading due to PC architecture some ram will be allocated for some reason it was back in June and I can't remember but here's the link. Edit : I found it * Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount.

I fixed it I forgot to add my gpu its a r9 270x and i only get to use 6.79 worth of my ram, and I'm working with 150$

So I built my first PC in June and my Bday just came around and I got some money that I'm going to use to buy 2 upgrades. My specs are as followed. CPU : AMD 7850K 4.0Ghz RAM : 1x 8GB Curical Ballstix Sport Ram 1600 Mhz Motherboard : Gigabyte a88x-up4 HDD : WD 1TB Blue GPU : Gigabyte R9 270x OS : Window 7 HP Case : Fractal Design Define R4 Blackout On to the upgrades I'm getting another 8gb stick of ram to make my total 16GB in dual channel. I've decied to get an H80i I've done some research on the h80i and it supports the fm2 socket. My motherboard says FM2/FM2+ but my cpu is a fm2+. So my question is would the H80i be able to be used on my cpu and motherboard. ~ Thanks
