Looking for some suggestions. I already have a R9 290. Alao have a OS. I want a 4790k as my cpu. Looking for some different suggestions on other components. I prefer to shop at NCIX because they are close by. Also Canadian. Thanks in advance!!

Edit: Want a good case for water cooling.

You can't be serious.  Hyperthreading is a market joke?

Gaming, running benchmarks. A bit of everything really.

In that case, you'd be fine with the i5 4690K, rather than the 4790K.

Without needing a powersupply, you can squeak in a 4790k :D

Presuming the added comment means that you intend a custom loop. So I didn't include a cpu cooler.

Think I could get away with running the stock heatsink for awhile until I get my loop together? Sigh hate stock heatsinks......

The H440 is a nice case but it doesn't have a great deal of room inside.

Hmmm it supports two 360mm rads I believe. I think it just looks smaller because of the Rad shroud.

It's not the space for rads that I was thinking of. I'm sure everything will fit but it's going to be tight.
