First Build :: Need cooling help

From all my research, this is the machine I want. Please feel free to critique whatever, but my question is specifically changing from water cooling to air cooling.. because I want to take it with me when I go overseas. It is unlikely I will over clock anything. best air cooled, not over clocking 980ti. best cpu air cooler.

A Be Quiet! Dark ROck Pro 3 will work well in that build.  You also might want to get a non watercooled GPU and a mass storage HDD.

Looks good, However I would get a NZXT X41 kraken, it compares to some slimmer 240mm one RADs. Also a 850w EVGA GS OR G2 IF and only if you plan on SLIing.

thank you. I'll check it out. also, I am going to change the gpu, but there are so many. any idea which one I best if I'm not going to overclock?

Any 980ti.  Preferably the one with the highest stock core clock.

I'm trying to go air cooled. also, the 750w will cover a second 980ti if I choose to sli later. thanks for the reply.

thanks. I'll go with that. I'll figure it out now.

No, 750w is REALLY pushing it and more than likely will NOT handle it under load. 850w to be safe, allow for overclocks, and potentialy still has hesd room.

True, except for the traveling part.  It's 1200g and the weight is carried near the top.  He'd have to remove it every time.  Best to get something low and/or light instead.

is the cpu cooler too heavy for overseas travel?

[james_bank]
