Can you be more specific? What are you going to cool? What thickness, FPI and fans?

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Im going to cool my mother board, two GTX 770s, and a 4770k. And im going to be using Corsair fans. thickness doesn't matter.

Unless you're doing hardcore overclocking, you're not going to need motherboard blocks. If you want it for aesthetics, sure, but you're going to save a lot of money if you don't buy the mobo block. 

 

In this case, you're going to be better off with a 480mm radiator. It's a little bit more than you need, but you can use your fans at lower RPMs.

Thanks. I like the aesthetics in that case  :P

Title says it all. :D

More radiator surface area = better heat dissipation. I'd get a 480mm UT60 with good fans in push or pull.
