Hey guys so i built a pc a year ago and i have been  updating it little by little , there will be more to come like i have a 3570k now and i need a z77 board and i want a new gpu and hopefully a h100i . i have a evga supernova in the mail i have been waiting for 2 weeks for now so the psu is getto for now

I like this build, the cable management looks good. I really like the corsair case. Also the i5 will be a great processor for gaming. What is your plans for the gpu?

[Dathtom]

Very similar to mine, I have the H100i atm. It's been ok, good performance although I almost wished that I went for a Noctua NH-D14 just because I can't get the OC I want because the fans are too loud. If it's not a windowed case there is no reason not to go with the D14 over H100i, same performance except quieter, and cheaper too.

thanks guys i am thinking between a gtx 680 or a 770 what do you think price to performance wise 

[Dathtom]

770 performs better, and is a similar price. Go 770.

[nickpc]

are you planing on getting a cpu cooler

[Steowd]

Yep Nickpc I am thinking between a h100 with slim fans or a h50 not sure cos the 300r is not made for a h100 so I need slim fans and a bit of modding , and a cheep z77 board is needed

The standered fans should be fine in a 300r, as long as your mobo heatsinks and RAM are not too high. Would recommend looking at air alternatives though.

im sorry, but why did you want to have a window and lighting for a stock cooler?......and is that a 670 mini in a mid tower....with all due respect, what were you thinking???!!! :0

[nickpc]

you could get an msi z77 gd 45 and h100

[Steowd]

damon-jasinski if you read it im getting a gtx 770 and a h100 so your comment is invalid

[Steowd]

Yes that's the plan nick pc

Super nice case, I would go with a 770 as it is a refreshed 680 and its cheaper.  Make sure the h100(i) will fit in there.  If not the h80(i) is perfect.  You could always mod the case for a h100 but why bother.  As far as the window goes its a 10 dollar option so it was a great idea to grab that model.  "haters will always hate".  Have fun!!
