[ReThorb_]

Good build overall

You can go for a cheaper PSU but it is fine

Sorry I'm an Asus motherboard fanboy.

[ReThorb_]

I searched for cheaper psu's couldnt find semi/fully modular ones with more than 550w

[PineappleHolidays]

I would ditch the H100i , It's horribly noisy ,

Maybe get a better or a cheaper kit , NZXT has some good ones , Enermax , or even swiftech

[SkywardKkalox]

Too bad you wouldn't be able to play at 1440p with a single 970.

And here is a good modular 550w PSU http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550bbefx

[ReThorb_]

with a mail-in rebate, the evga psu is the same price as the xfx, and I know evga better than I do xfx

[ReThorb_]

ill look into it Mihemine

[REX.exe]

Do you plan on doing XFire or SLI? If so, go with 750w and you can get a fully modular 80+ Gold or higher one.

 

Here's a good one for SLI: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20750xr

[ReThorb_]

I might upgrade to SLI later (1-2 years later idk). That PSU is quite expensive though , rexisyourbestm8

[REX.exe]

I understand, but would you rather buy an expensive PSU now and not have to get a new one when you do convert to SLI OR Get the lesser watt one now and have to buy a higher wattage one in the future so you have enough to support SLI? You'll end up spending more overall.

Mihemine, how about this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rln24m24pkr1

 

edit: I dont wanna go above 130-140$ for cpu cooling

[ReThorb_]

yeah thats true rexis

[REX.exe]

This is good for CPU cooling, you can get some really nice overclocks with it.

[ReThorb_]

that versus the cm 240m though?

[REX.exe]

That would be better than the 240m.

 

that versus the cm 240m though?

[ReThorb_]

k kraken x61 is 2 degrees celcius better, worth the extra 20$?

[ReThorb_]

oh oops thats with noctua fans

[ReThorb_]

its 3 instead of 2 then

[ReThorb_]

such big difference

[REX.exe]

I would say so. If your budget is $130 then you shouldn't mind spending $130 amirite? Anyway, yes it is worth it.

[ReThorb_]

mk, ill take it from a person that has actually built a pc before

[ReThorb_]

thing is with the kraken though, they are 280mm, not 240mm, there arent many 140mm fans out there that are pressure optimized. and noctua's dont look very great...

[REX.exe]

Noctuas are fine.
