Looks like a great cooler.

So is that cooler better than most water coolers, just at the same level or slightly worse?

It looks pretty powerful.

Yeah it is the best aircooler but i would suggest also good airflow in your case for optimum results . If you have more questions about aircooling and watercooling you can post them in the dedicated sub forums :)

Now then. I can neither say if this is good or bad, but I can say it has usb 3.0, a 2.5 inch mount. Bad aspects are it has only one fan preinstalled, so you'd need to get an additional four 120mm fans to use in it.

He wouldn't need 4 more. Mabye just one more so he can have an exhaust fan and an intake fan.

If I had rebates where I lived (that's right! Some people don't get rebates!), I would take that willingly. Money in my future is better than money in a retailers coffers.

 

God I wish the UK had rebates!  :(

Not sure how coolers work, so I dunno if there's a problem with it.

Anyways,

I just decided to change the video card to the 

Gigabyte 

GV-N780OC-3GD REV2.0

I just meant that you didnt list a PSU under PSU, but another cpu cooler.

 

What is wrong with your current case btw? It fits all your stuff and looks o.k., for only 40 $ you will hardly get something much better.

Yep, I'm powering it with a rat on a wheel, oranges, and a water cooler!

 

Bah, Copy and pasting always fails me.

My PSU is EVGA 850W 80+

No, I asked for something that's in the middle of good and cheap.

I dont get why you get such good components to throw them at a low end case it is like getting a ferrari and use only cheap gasoline it makes 0 sense.As i said search at this link it is from 25 till 50 with all the prices you can imagine between http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007583%204025&IsNodeId=1&name=%2425%20-%20%2450&Order=PRICE

Well, a cheap case isn't going to destroy it, like cheap gasoline would, a car.

I'd like to not have the price over 1250$
