New PC

Hi.

I am going to be buying a new PC.

Link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nmD7nQ

 

I was thinking about putting three Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mm LED fans in the front of the case as intake fans,

one BitFenix Spectre Pro 140mm LED fan in the back and keeping the fans that comes with the H100i radiator in the top.

 

Is this system a good system?

Is there anything you think I should change?

 

You may notice that the prices are pretty high, but that's what I need to pay here in Sweden.

 

*Edit*

So, I've changed some things around: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3XzXdC

I've decided to with three BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 120mm fans in the front,

one BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 140mm fan in the back,

two Noctua NF-F12 120mm fans for the radiator if I get a H100i/H105 and two BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 140mm fans if I get the NZXT Kraken X61.

 

Should I go for the Corsair H100i, the Corsair H105 or the NZXT Kraken X61?

This is the store that I'm buying this at: http://www.inet.se/kundvagn/visa/7522687/computer (The total price will be 9285kr, which is about $1193)

 

This is the money I'm giving for the current components:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k - $371

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i/H105 - $140 or NZXT Kraken X61 - $161

MB: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - $178

RAM: Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB (2x4) CL11 2400Mhz XMP - $102

Case: NZXT H440W Silent Black/Green - $153

Radiator Fan(s): Noctua NF-F12 PWM (If I get H100i or H105) - $23 or BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 140mm - $20

Front Case Fan(s): BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 120mm - $17

Rear Case Fan: BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 140mm - $20 

 

I can go above a little bit, but not by much.

Main PC: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.4GHz | CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 | Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 | GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 FTW | RAM: HyperX Savage 2x8 @ 2400MHz | SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB | HDD: WD Black 2TB | Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D | PSU: Corsair RM550 | Monitor: Acer Predator GN246HLBbid 144Hz 24"

No No No No.....

No H100i 

It's a waster rather would go for a H105 and a cheaper PSU but you already purchesed dat psu.

Believe me you ganna regret H100i compared to H105

the h105 is ok, but it really looks horrible compared to the h100i imo with not that large of a performance advantage.

Case: Phanteks Evolve X with ITX mount  cpu: Ryzen 3900X 4.35ghz all cores Motherboard: MSI X570 Unify gpu: EVGA 1070 SC  psu: Phanteks revolt x 1200W Memory: 64GB Kingston Hyper X oc'd to 3600mhz ssd: Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1TB ITX System CPU: 4670k  Motherboard: some cheap asus h87 Ram: 16gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz

What's the system being used for?

Why a sshd instead of a ssd + hdd?

Sickleflows and Spectre Pros are both mediocre-average fans at best. 

 

Can you link us to where you're actually shopping? There's little point using a list with incorrect prices when recommendations are usually made depending on pricing. 

 

This belongs in the New Builds and Planning section. I'm moving the thread.

What fans do you recommend for the H100i?

What motherboard do you recommend?

I'm maybe going to buy a NZXT Kraken X61. If not I'm going to buy either the H100i or the H105.

So, I've changed some things around: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3XzXdC

I've decided to with three BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 120mm fans in the front,

one BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 140mm fan in the back,

two Noctua NF-F12 120mm fans for the radiator if I get a H100i/H105 and two BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 140mm fans if I get the NZXT Kraken X61.

RAM: Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB (2x4) CL11 2400Mhz XMP - $102

Rear Case Fan: BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 140mm - $20 

 

I can go above a little bit, but not by much.

Spectre Pros aren't that good and are worse than the normal Spectres. SP140 LED fans would be better if you want green but can't find Gelid Wings.

No point getting an i7 just for gaming. An i5 performs similarly and is significantly cheaper.

No psu or storage?

What fans do you recommend for the H100i?

Just going with a Kraken x61 would be better but I don't see why you would need such an expensive cpu cooler to begin with just for gaming.

I've already got an SSD in my current PC.

Are you upgrading your current system?
