This is the build I'm currently thinking of getting; https://www.komplett.se/k/shoplist.aspx?mode=receive&si=1363831&su=9A14B33E-0F35-4868-8FBA-57BFD2D75360, although I'm not completely decided on what CPU cooler to use.

 

These are the two options I'm currently thinking about getting:

 

Cooler Master V8 GTS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103189)

 

Corsair H100i (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181032)

 

I will be overclocking although I'm not looking for the most beastly OC ever, so bear that in mind  :lol:

 

Also making sure those options will actually fit in the case without any issues would be great!

 

Any other ideas or thoughts about the build will be very much appreciated too  :D

For air if you want to go hardcore oc go for Noctua NH-D14. Water H100i.

but if you just want mild oc there is no reason to buy something that expensive and v8 is just bad...

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

I'm not necessarily devoted to complete silence, leaning more towards performance and looks.

 

 

 

Why is it so bad?

That is actually a very good question  :ph34r:

 

 

 

V8 is just pants.  Very much style over substance.

 

Fair enough, any other air-cooler you would recommend? I'm going for a red/black look for the rest of the components so plus points for anything that fits that color scheme!
