    @KarlFFF the no fan-mode isn't that important, since any decent psu won't be particularly loud anyway. 
     
    Corsair CX/EVGA B1 series would be my recommendation. Or something better like a 750w EVGA G2 if you wanted to get a really nice (one of the best) modular psu. (Which also happens to have a zero fan mode)

    Motherboard is uber expensive.

    you could save a bit on the ram and a bit on the board if you dont mind losing some of the sex appeal.

    Go to PC Partpicker and:
    Go searching for a mobo. Filter "z97" chipset and "2-way SLI capable". Then, sort it by lowest price. Pick the first one that shows up. Go searching for RAM. Check the "1x4gb", "1x8gb", "2x4gb" and "1x8gb" filters. Then, sort it by "price/gb". Get the cheapest 1600mhz, CAS 9 available. Go searching for PSU. Check the "80+ gold", "semi" and "full" filters, and put wattage between 500w and 650w. Sort by lowest price. Get the cheapest thing that comes from EVGA, Corsair, Rosewill, XFX or Seasonic. Also, get the cheapest 256gb SSD that's not the v300. Trust me, they all perform the same.

    Get a cheaper board and an EVGA G1/G2 PSU (or some other cheaper psu). 
     
    Any z97 board (From Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, or Asrock, ignoring Z97m anniversary) will handle overclocking more or less the same (+/- margin of error). 
     
    P.s. you could get away with a 430w psu (although, they're not much cheaper) -- but the RM series is overpriced.

    KarlFFF reacted to TheKDub in Air cooler vs. AIO liquid cooler (CPU)   
    AIO liquid coolers can be better and worse than air coolers depending on the size and thickness of the radiator, the waterblock, tubing, etc... and have another point of failure (the pump), though I personally find that they look much better than bulky air coolers that would do the same job.
     
    I personally would go for a 240mm aio or 360mm aio any day over a bulky air cooler. (Except for in an environment where the case has no window, and I want it to as silent as possible)

    AIO coolers IMO are for cases where an air cooler wont fit like a cooler master elite 130 or a corsair air 240. Otherwise, an air cooler is a much better price/performance.

    Oh well, if it doesn't fit can always use it as a comb.
    Edit: My mistake, looks like the ram I was talking about is not called the Hyper X Beast

    AIO cooler, cost a preimum, looks nice and don't have to worry about ram tallness.
    AIR cooler, also cost a premium but some good ones like the 212 Evo cost at a affordable price. Have to worry about ram tallness. There is no way to fit a HyperX Beast with them blue ridiculously tall heatsinks, under a 212 Evo. Less parts to break down vs AIO where it also requires a pump.

    I wouldn't bother with AIO coolers.
    A Dark Rock Pro 3 or Noctua cooler would be good (and look better imo)

    I'd get a Noctua NH-D14 or NH-D15. They're under $100 and they are on par with the top end AiO's (Not to mention they are SUPER quiet!)
