I need a new and beefier RIG - 2.3k $USD max.

I recommend you to buy these parts from pcp.ch and digitec.ch

Pc-ostschweiz has so shity prices and they are all 5 min changeing them.

As a cooler i recommend you Noctua NH-D15 or thE Cryorig R1.

But the Cryorig you would have to buy from germany because not 1 shop is selling the Cryorig here in switzerland.

With the H440 you might consider the Kraken X61. Besides being an excellent cooler it has user configured lighting on the pump head.

A lot more expensive though   Here in UK the K2 costs £50 and the Phanteks is £69. The only shop i can see selling the X61 is asking for £110  :blink:

The X61 is expensive but I believe it is in the budget. With windowed cases using an AIO does make for a nicer display. Still £110, even accounting for VAT, does seem excessive.

The Phanteks is huge   The H440 case takes up to 180mm cooler height, and the Phanteks is 171mm.

 

The Noctua is a good cooler as well, although it doesn't fit in with a red/black colour scheme. You would have to swap the fans if you wanted to keep the colour the same.

I know lol.. It's tough finding a cooler, that has the scheme I want. I will more likely find a water cooling solution with that scheme, rather than an air cooling one..

 

What's about Corsair solution with he H50? It's compatible with my socket and it's pitch black. And I could swap the original fan on the radiator with an SP series 120 mil. fan from Corsair?

I don't know enough about it. So yeah. If anyone has any thoughts on that one..

Hmm.. Nice idea. But I can't find it in Swizerland. And honestly I don't want to buy parts from Germany.. it's annoying.

I bought some parts from pcp some time ago. Never again. tbh. They have a realy shitty service. So yeah. Digitec ALL THE WAY!

Like I said above. I won't buy parts from other countries.

Nc.

I can't find it in Switzerland. I can't even consider using it..

I would be looking at a H80i as a minimum if you decide to go with an i7. The other options are H100i and H105. The H105 should fit in the H440. I have seen a build with it mounted in the front. The H100i will fit in the roof with no problems.

[Unbr34k4bl3]

The H105 seems gorguous.

I think I might consider it.

Alright guys, small update, I've took some stuff now from you guys and I was thinking in the last few hours, what else I might need.This is what I came up with.

KLICK <- Parts I thought of.

 

I'd like to have some comments on it. I took the last few hours figuring it out and well.. I just want to be sure, that I don't buy something stupid. Which could lead me failing my system, because I didn't take a proper look..

 

Also I could start with that low budget of 1.4k earlier. Like a whole month. Or get 2 GTX 780's and make directly a SLI config.. altough, I'm not sure if it would make that big of a difference.

 

And here a small list of stuff I already have:

Maximus V Gene LGA 1155

Core i7 2600k / 2700k (not sure, need to take a better look on it when I'm home from holidays.

2 TB WD Green (1x), Kingston SSDNow 128Gb (1x) and like 2 more HDD's which I'll probably format and use for something else, they're both old and shit.

 

Peripherals:

Asus 1080p monitors (2x), Mad Catz M.M.O. 7 mouse, Logitech G710+ keyboard, Behringer C-1U microphone and a pair of Beyerdynamics DT 770's Pro Edition (250 Ω).

2x8GB of memory would be better. https://shop.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/crucial-ballistix-sport-2x-8gb-ddr3-1600-dimm-ram-2432617?tagIds=76 has better timings and is less expensive. https://shop.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/corsair-vengeance-pro-black-2x-8gb-ddr3-1866-dimm-ram-439896?tagIds=76 would be an even better choice.

 

The H105 has pre-applied thermal compound on the pump block interface surface. Strictly speaking additional compound is not necessary.

Ouh.. used an old list, Forgott to take out the compound.

 

Thanks.

 

What do you think btw of SLI configs? Is it worth, after I get 2 more Screens.. ?

Generally I prefer a single powerful gpu. But as more pixels need to be generated SLI starts to make sense. You have the psu to handle SLI so it is just a question of when you feel SLI is needed. And you won't know that immediately.
