so im almost done choosing parts for my gaming rig but still no quite there, for gpu cooling (and psu

does the rpm matter? if so why? is less or more better?

 

Current options : Corsair h105 or Nepton 280L (feel free to suggest otherwise)

 

im using i7-4790k and prefer to use sleeved / tubed cooling instead of the big bulk air fan 

(preference wise, coz it looks cleaner and better, for me at least)

Isn't the rpm, is the size of the rad and the airflow of the fans, and if it bothers you the noise...

I'd go with a Swiftech 220X or a kraken x61

rig: i7 4770k @4.1Ghz (delidded), Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz, ROG Maximus VI Hero, Noctua NH-D14, EVGA GTX980SC, Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, Corsair SF600, self-built wooden Case, CoolerMaster QuickFire TK, Logitech G502, Blue Yeti, BenQ GW2760HS

Rpm is one of the things you should worry least. All current 120mm-140mm fans have enough of it. The things you should be looking out are CFM (how much air fan can move) and noise levels on full speed (dB). Basic case fans are in 27 dB range. Better fans are in 22-24 dB range while still having enough of CFM.
