I was thinking of getting a aftermarket cooler i just don't know which one to go with. I prefer air cooling over liquid cooling. I was also wondering that story back in December about skylake cpus bending was that due to bad manufacturing or was that due to dude using a electric screw driver to install his cpu cooler. 

 

Thanks in advance again.

Little bit over $1300 but i was able to squeeze a 980ti into it so i would say its worth it.

I understand was just trying to get that 980ti in there for you. Although you might be able to go x99 just give me a little bit to put a list together.

Msi is a great company and from what ive heard is great about rmas. Also its up to you could grab a r9 390 insted of the 980 if you dont really need that much power.
