Ok so should I buy 

h100i with 2 noctua nf-f12 and another samsung 840 EVO 120gb

or

Dark Rock PRO 2 + 8gb more corsair vengeance + samsung ssd

 

My only concern with the dark rock is that it migh not fit on my vengeance ram (I have the ram, dont tell me to get LP). Can it be solved by moving the fan a little up?

Hyper 212 EVO with a 250GB EVO, or if you don't have that type of moneys than a 120GB will suit accordingly.

If you are using a stock cooler I would just get a Hyper 212 Evo and an SSD, and save your money

hyper 212 EVO is way to mainstream :P

Dollars? Aren't you shopping in sweden?

The Havik 140 is as good as the NH-D14. Basically, yes.

I haven't put it together yet :P, but from what I can tell it's as good as the NH-D14 and the Phanteks PH-TC14PE all at $20 cheaper and smaller, I think.

Let's be real now, how would that work out? Smaller in all dimensions yet magically comparable. I doubt it would stand ground with those two (comparable is relative) but it's a damn good value for an incredibly good cooler.

The Havik is taller than the NH-D14 by 6mm, I don't know about how it compares to the Phanteks but it has very similar temps with both of them.

I mean in terms of dissipation area and price.

 

I do agree, but it's not going to be the same in performance and probably noise but it's a very good value.

Well I'm sick of comparing specs as I've been doing it for 2 months to finally get a beast PC. I chose the Havik 140, $20 cheaper, rivaling temps and looks better.
