So, now it is time to build my very first gaming pc. Over the last weeks i have been getting alot of good advices from all of you here on the site. The pc will be used for light gaming and editing of my bike videos. I already have the graphics card, a standard all black gtx 760, as well as a harddrive. The other parts are:

Corsair Graphite 760t in white (it matches my room perfectly and i like the big side window)

Corsair RMi 850w (here in Denmark 750 and 850 watts cost the same so why not. Another good thing about this psu is Corsair Link, and the fact that it is white)

Msi z97 Krait Gaming (i dont need Skylake to my needs. And i doubt it will be more future proof than a z97 krait)

I5-4690K is good enough for me ;)

2x4gb hyper x fury ddr3 1866Mhz ram in white

The standard gtx 760 i mentioned earlier.

120gb ssd from Hyper-x 500/500

750gb WD Blue i took from my laptop when upgrading to ssd.

 

All this sounds great, right? My only worry is the cpu cooler. I decided to go with the h110i and put it in the front in push/pull with the two standard Corsair fans. But will the tubing be long enough for that? It wont fit it in the top of the case, because i have 3 x 120mm Corsair fans to put there, bringing air out of the case.

if anyone knows if it is going to fit, please tell me. As well, if you have suggestions to changes, please write them down below. I look forward to your answers. :)

I think that will work, but how about the raijintek triton in top? Good performance, value and looks. Plus i will be able to use the extra three fans i have

 

honestly, put it in the top. having more air in than air out is a good thing, keeps dust out. Also it means you'll be venting the hot air out of the case, you'll need to with that reference style 760, blower style coolers run hot at the best of times

 

. Two in the triton as push/pull and one in the bottom of the case?

I change my mind all the time. Right now i am on the Noctua NH-D15. It sounds like it is as good as it is ugly - and that is a lot. I have some white isolating tape to put around the fans, to make it look more aestheticly pleasing..

 

the triton is known for being dead on arrival, dying quickly and all round unreliability. don't get it, please.

i know, but maybe i want to upgrade to that in the future. Right now, with this being my first build, i dont feel comportable with the water inside a computer ;)

 

honestly, a CM Nepton 240m, a Corsair H110 series or a Kraken x61 from NZXT are the best options
