Hah... 6250mah... pfffttt! Read about this! http://www.gsmarena.com/this_chinese_handset_has_a_whopping_9000_mah_battery-news-15097.php

LOL... It's okay, not everyone here can afford it. Even then, I am using a cheap'o (albeit overkill!) Hyper 412 Slim for my i7-4790 (bought it for around $40). But I do admit, that Cyrorig C1 Ultimate looks sweeeet! P.S.: The prices stated in ebay is crazy! Good luck in finding it in North America!

LOL... we have an official distributor in Malaysia. The Cryorig C1 Ultimate and the C1 Universal is going for around RM329 (or around $88). However, AFAIK not many people is extolling its benefits/advantages, either that or it's not selling by the bucket-loads. The majority is still going for the CM combo like Hyper 212X and the Evo... even the Phanteks or the Noctuas are rarely mentioned.

The general consensus for non-OC is, stock Intel fan is adequate for cooling solution. I also have the i7-4790 and yet, I have the CM TX 412 Slim cooling it. I gotten the 412 Slim for a very nice price and under full load, the cores only reached a max of 52C. No harm in having an aftermarket cooler for non-K CPUs. Having said that, if you're having a tight budget, then you should re-look into diverting your funds into maybe, a SSD or better GPU....

Just got back into desktop PC, after 4 years using a 'proper' gaming laptop (Asus G73-JH) Since then, the best deal I think, would be the $89 I'd paid for the Samsung 850 EVO 250gb... in my country, that is a steal! B)

I can confirm that the Aerocool Dead Silence has LED lighting, plus they are really silent. I also have the Phanteks, but the Aerocool DS has higher CFM and lower noise when on full RPM.

I missed one thing, you do not need 16gb RAM for gaming. Again, with the money saved get a freakin' SSD and it'll make a world of difference!

I would say ditch that PSU and get something decent like Seasonic, EVGA or XFX, V-Series from CM. And you don't need that big a wattage, something efficient in the range of 600w. And why you need the AIO??? Looks like you wanna future-proof? Forget it and with the money saved, get a 120gb. SSD and Bob's your uncle...

I had the same conundrum earlier on, S340 or the Enthoo Pro as both came in white?But after doing all my research, the Enthoo Pro only marginally cost more, has better airflow and ease of use, it was a no brainer. I love my Enthoo Pro, my case temp is never above 50c (mind you, I live in the tropics, and no aircond). It just works and much better than my expectations.

You missed the boat on the 850 EVO 250gb on amazon.com. They were going for $89 a pop 2 weeks ago, and was around $95 last week. Now it's hovering around $128... I would highly recommend the 850 EVOs, but since they're a bit high-priced now, the MX200 would be alright but priced at $110. How about this - ADATA USA Premier Pro2.5-Inch 256GB? Nice fast drive at $99.99....

For NoctHorn: I give yours a good 8.6/10.... The standard, solid build for a mid-level gaming rig, nothing bad about it, maybe a tad weak in the casing dept (like you'd said), but casing's a casing... as long as there is adequate airflow. Good thumbs up!

Fractal Define R5 is more expensive and lousier airflow. Enthoo Pro is cheaper and has a superior airflow and modularity. Of course ultimately you have to be the judge of it. I do love my Enthoo Pro, easy to work with and lots of clearance space.

At first, I was torn between the NZXT S340 White and the Phanteks Enthoo Pro White. However since the S340 was out of stock in my favorite stores, it seemed like the gods of the PC-MasterRace has decided for me. For that I am forever grateful for their intervention. I absolutely adore my Enthoo Pro!!! tl:dr- Phanteks Enthoo Pro White - FTW!
