color is personal preference.

@Zuzu The price for your HSF is missing. on NCIX CAN it cost $99.99CAD

Newegg US cost $89.99. Seriously if you're going to spend that much on a fan, might as well just go with AIO.

@NumLock21

But I need less noise and AIOs make a lot afaik

I'm talking about price point not noise. Want silent then get the cpu fan cooler.

[Zuzu]

@NumLock21

Okay, is there anything else I should know before I order all these parts? There's nothing else I need from the time I receive the parts to the time I'm playing CS GO on it apart from a screwdriver with multiple heads right?

[NumLock21]

Man really want to help you save and try to get it as low as possible. Screw this saving nonsense bs! lol

What you mostly need is a the cross shape screw driver and that's about it and a big space for you to work with.

[Zuzu]

Huh?

Maximus?

[NumLock21]

Yeah, screw this trying to help you save on your wallet. Asus ROG FTW!

Seriously that build you've configure is soild. I've pick the Maximus for it's black/red which matches your black/red H440.

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 is also black/red and cost like $4 dollars less than the Asus Z97-AR.

@brob mentioned the clearance for your Corsair Vengence and CPU cooler. change ram to those with non tall heatsinks.

[Zuzu]

How about G Skill Ripjaws X?

Also, what does a ROG motherboard provide me in benefit if I'm not going to OC?

Thanks for your help btw yeah man I've saved up over 4 years for this I just want it to be perfect for my needs for the next 3-4 years and I don't care about costs as long as it's less than my saved up money . I also don't want it to be overkill because... What's the point of a huge house with 50 toilets if you only use one y'know.

[brob]

My Hyper 212 fits snug with my Viper 3 RAM, too snug for my liking.  I simply moved my 2 sticks of RAM to the 2/4 slots.  Could Zuzu not just do the same?  ...Or even run a pull config on the cooler fan which would alleviate the clearance issue?

 

I believe the Dark Rock Pro 3 fins extend over the first two slots and the fan over the outer two slots. The fan could be adjusted up, depending on the case clearance. But this would likely impact performance. Depending on the motherboard I suppose it might be possible to mount the fan on the back side of the cooler and have it pull air across the fins.

I've been on my iPhone for the past 2 days without any computer whatsoever and I'm going to be ordering everything from this little thing... Lol... So it's kind of hard to do research on clearance and compatibility stuff. So thank you brob that really helps. So what max height of RAM do you recommend with the ASUS Z97 mobo with the dark rock pro 3?

Don't know :\ Might not or be a extremely tight fit. I was thinking about the G.Skill Ares since the heatsink is level with the ram PCB, so is the Kingston HyperX Fury.

Features in Asus Maximus VII Hero. It's isn't just about overclocking

Ripjaws X are 40mm tall.

 

The Noctua NH-U12S has no issues with tall memory modules.

[Zuzu]

I need a mobo with Bluetooth... Just realized

[Zuzu]

Oh I think that one has PCIe so it should be alright

Ripjaws X are 40mm tall.

The Noctua NH-U12S has no issues with tall memory modules.

Does the 40mm include the part in the socket? If so, then it's enough clearance from what I've gathered.

[NumLock21]

Holy moly, today is your lucky day. Asus Z97 Pro for $119 CAN only 4 left in stock, regular price is like over $200

Has wifi AC and BT 4.0

Z97-Pro for $119

'The Dark Rock Pro 3 has 44mm of clearance for ram. For example, 40mm tall Ripjaws fit no problem'

[Zuzu]

Holy crap @NumLock21 lol....

So it's better that I get that than install Bluetooth via PCIe right?

[NumLock21]

Yes, get that board before it runs out.

I think I'll get it just for the heck of it, even if I don't need it.

Description of that video:

Case: Fractal Design Arc Mini

Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Gene

CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k

GPU: Asus GTX770 OC 2GB

RAM: G.Skill RipJaws X 2x8GB

Seems like it should be okay with the G Skill as well as the Mushkins @stconquest

ordered it. Alright so that's the board done

Perhaps you could provide the post # as I can't find any reference to 44 or Ripjaws on the page.

The 40 mm measure is the total height of the module.

@stconquest

Which fans did you suggest for me btw? Instead of the $30 BeQuiet ones?

They come with Blue/red/green LEDS.  Your choice.  I linked the plain ones, no LEDS.

 

You got that ASUS PRO mobo right?  $250 board, for half price.
