Another H440 Build

[Spunky]

I have seen many H440 builds and I really want to build one but my question is - does the components I'm planning to use are enough for gaming/designing purposes?

 

Components:

Priced around $1500, please also let me know if you happen to know a better build with the same budget or lower.

 

Thanks!

looks good, though I would recommend an ASUS or MSI GPU to match your color scheme

Get an MX100 SSD, cheaper and in the real world, similar performance
 

EVGA G2 PSU, Corsair RM have cheapy internals whereas the G2 are made by SuperFlower and are pretty much the creme de la creme

 

Why not go for a GTX 970? New architecture etc, similar/less price to that 780 as well!

Otherwise looks great

I'd rather go with 970 :rolleyes:

I have seen many H440 builds 

 

I bought it, too.  It's so nice to look at.    

 

 

I also bought those SP120 fans.  I have them mounted to the top vents; no water cooling for me.   I couldn't get the screws on the fans tightened all the way down, though, before the colored rubber corners started to torque really bad.  I can slide the fans back and forth.  Doesn't matter though... they don't move on their own because the robber corners stop vibration.  They stay put. 

 

It's a real nice case.  I counted all the fans the other day and realized there are nine total (including power supply and video card).  It's still really quiet.

Why not an h110 cpu cooler?

[Tonka_Truck]

How about something like this?

Very good Possibly some faster RAM also? Not that necessary but would be nice to have it. Otherwise really nice!
