Let me start off by thanking Linus. All those damn reviews came in handy to someone who never built a computer before my hats off to you. THANKS.

i7 4790K

Gigabyte Z97x gaming 5

16gigs Hyper Fury X

Gigabyte G1 gaming Gtx 980

Samsung 500g 850 Evo

Fractal Design Define R4

Air Cooled for now.

Running at stock speed I ended up with a firestrike score of 11,807. I only had one screw up while building. I left 60 gigs of ssd space set in reserve so I had to get that fixed other than that it runs like a champ. Going to go with an AIO soon maybe a H110 mounted in the front or a h240x mounted in the front. let me know what you think.

Very nice. If you get the h240x, remember to mount it with the pump and res on the bottom when mounting it vertically at the front of the case. Also, the tubing length may be to short for front mounting if you get the h240x.

Well after looking around. Looks like ill have to go with a cooler master nepton or a nzxt x60/x61. Those seem to have the tube length I need to front mount it.

Edit.

I cancelled an order for a glacer after seeing reviews about it catching fire. what a shame.
