Heyo Bros!

I'm planning to buy my build this week! So I wanted to know what Fans/coolers would you suggest me to buy?

 

PC Spec:

Intel i7 4770K 

ASUS Maximum VI Hero

EVGA GTX 780 SC

Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive

Samsung 840 series 500/512 SSD

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16 GB RAM (2x8)

Corsair GS800 Power Supply

Fractal Design R4 Case

[Wanted to use]

- Corsair SP120 Fans Quiet Edition

- Corsair H100i Water cooling

 

Would this fan & cooler fit into the case with all the other parts? Will I get good performance with these parts all together?

Looks awesome, if it was my build I would get a modular power supply. I do not remember if the M/B and rad don't fit in that case.

you should have no problems fitting an H100i in a R4.

 

I would suggest looking at something like a swiftech H220 because of it's better performance in light of haswell still having the IHS not soldered on to the die.

 

I would go for something like a seasonic X650 or SSR-650RM instead.

Would they all fit together including motherboard & other parts? and Btw, Is there anything other than "Liquid" cooler but can give me at least the same performance of liquid coolers?

The best AIO cooler is the H220. The second best is the H100i. H220 is slightly more expensive but it performs considerably better.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

The h220 is only 2mm thicker so it should fit.

If you want to fit an H100i, it should fit in that case. if you can't get it to fit in the top, you can actually mount it in the front. 

 

Good Air coolers: Noctua NH-D14, Phanteks ph-tc14pe, and the Thermalright Silver Arrow. also, a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 2, but it might be hard to find. 

Reviews: JBL J33i   M50s   SRH440   Soundmagic PL50

Get an H220 or NH-D14. Go hard or go home :P

As for the psu, a good 650w will suffice. Go with a 800w if you plan to sli.
