Get a single rail power supply, a SanDisk SSD for around that money, and you can get a good air cooler for less than the H100i.

thats a very nice build OP, only the powersupply id go with something else...could you afford the supernova G2? ...its made by superflower and its worlds better...

 

also a good quality air cooler is a better choice but youd have to go with another case as well cause that box is wind thight as a deep butt crack.

no, this is superior...this cooler competes with the h80i and actualy surpass it in a case with good airflow...al that while being quieter and more reliable.

OK but would it still work good if I stayed with the h440 or would the performance change drastically?

huh...somewhat...the h440 has bad airflow...its a silent case, nice look, but overpriced and hot...gpu and cpu should be watercooled in this type of cases IMHO.

 

it will still work good for sure...just not optimal.

 

have you taken a look at the ostrog GT...i own this case and its fantastic...very nice looking as well.

very good airflow and included fans are very good quality.

I have a coolermaster air cooler that was like 16 bucks and I never go above 60-65 Celsius, using the turbo boost at 4.4ghz

Rose's are red violets are blue, without computers I'd know not what to do.

I'll check out the ostrog Gt

only thing that could be better is the psu intake fan grill quality...but for the price you really cant complain...included are two led 140mm fan for air intake and one 120mm exaust fan...all 3 are good quality and very quiet...cable management is perfect as well.

It is certainly not as sexy as the OP build but with an mITX build one can squeeze in 16GB of memory.
