Posted December 2, 2014 Personally, I would cheap out on all of the components except for the CPU and GPU. In your case, you're wasting too much money in your storage solutions and unnecessary parts like thermal paste and fans. Let me tweak it for you @Zackey_TNT. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Posted December 2, 2014 @Zackey_TNT Build is a bit overbudget but it can easily solve by swapping the case, lower HDD storage, and maybe swap out the RAM with another brand as well.

Besides, it would probably take 7 years or more in order to even classify it as outdated. Even though there will be a new socket, the performance difference isn't very significant to upgrade. Even some of our forum members here still have the sandy bridge platform and they don't experience significant bottlenecks(never seen a member complained about it even once).

Posted December 2, 2014 @vern021 Even so. What about the case fans? And where is the fans for the Water cooler i wanted push pull For case fans, you can buy noctuas if you want. Unfortunately, I think you can't push-pull on my given case since it's already fit. I wouldn't be so concerned with not having a push-pull config if my CPU fans very SP optmized.

Posted December 2, 2014 Author @vern021 Im sorry im fairly new and do not understand what a "Noctua" is What would be the best termal paste too? The one that is pre aplyed or aftermarket ones?

As for the fans for the water cooler are the ones on there already good? It's ok. The Noctua fans are the fans that Linus is fanboying about. They're really great at pushing air even at low RPMs. As for the thermal paste, I wouldn't worry too much about that since NZXT does have good thermal paste. If you really want to get an aftermarket thermal paste (but I don't), you can look at the Arctic Silver 5 or the Innovation Cooling Diamond.

Posted December 2, 2014 Also The SSD Is better i take it then Samsung? The Samsung 850 Pro is the fastest SSD but I wouldn't pay for that unless I'm really desperate for speed. The MX100 is a good budget-wise SSD. The 840 EVO is also a good choice.

Posted December 2, 2014 I see Well then, very well i will go for what you got As for the fans. What kind of fans should i get? SP or AF? And what moddel would you recommend SP fans is mostly used for restrictive cases while AF fans are more on to airflow. Personally I'll only buy two NF-A14(probably industrial if in budget) since there's no significant difference between having the stock fans and aftermarket ones.
