Heyhey !

 

I am planning on buying parts for my first making of a PC.

I will be playing games on it and I don't know to much about this stuff so I came to ask~

 

I know this website says it's all compatible, but I would not like to make sure before I start ordering these items from any kind of website to find out they don't fit together when i do receive them.

 

This is the Link to the build I want to create: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3914f

 

Specific Questions I need answered:

 

1) Is the Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H80I CPU Cooler System as good as I hear?

 

2) Are all of these compatible with each other?

 

3) Will I be able to duel-screen with the two monitors and GPU I want?

 

 

Sorry if I didn't do a good job explaining, but if there is something i'm missing, please let me know!

1. Depends. How good do they sound?

2. Yes but it's pretty terrible for the money.

3. Yes.

 

The system's just for gaming, right?

Why the K90? Do you need the macros for mmo/rts games?

120mm AIO's are stupid, they don't perform better than any air cooler for the same money, the D14 is cheaper and performs better.

Well thank you for your statement, I think buying a GTX 760 4gb is stupid as you can buy a GTX 770 for the same price but hey..... if you want to fill up your ram slots, the big, bulky air coolers don't allow for this, also they don't look as nice/ clean as a a AIO and the air coolers are a lot more noisy in my experience. 

 

Noctua is ugly in general

4GB 760's aren't stupid in my case as they were free, the noctua can clear standard height RAM if I remember correctly and something like a V8 GTS which is around the same price can clear taller RAM. All I was getting at is if you're going to go with an AIO you should only get a 120mm rad if you're restricted by space. You could also just use fans that aren't fugly.

H80i is a great cooler and from what I said before about N14 having height issues with tall ram, I think the liquid cooler has plenty of advantages, plus the difference is like $30....worth it in my eyes.

I would look into getting a 770 over a 760 4 gig ver 

unless you are planning to game on two moniters or go SLI 

I would personaly go with 770 it will make a bigger diferance in gaming
