PC build virgin

Hi i am going to build my first PC at some point (when i get some money) who ever when it comes to the CPU cooler i don't know which one to get or do i need one.

I am doing a air cool only (water cool to advance for me).

 

if anyone know which CPU cooler might fit in the case or is it worth having please tell also if anyone has a extra idea to add for my pc build tell me

according to the case's website

Maximum CPU Cooler Height - 170mm

 

the tallest cooler i can think of is noctua NH-D15, which is 165 mm tall with fans on, means u still have 5mm extra space to move the fans around if you need to for ram clearance

 

basically what im trying to say is, u can fit all(?) air coolers i can think of...

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Hold there!

 

If you are going to build it at some point in future, there will probably be better coolers, cases, everything!

 

So don't plan the build right now. This year we are expecting a lot of new stuff coming out, which promise good performance and lower TDP, so it's just the matter of time that it will be better

what is your budget?

and watercooling is pretty easy these days, we have All In One watercoolers, everything is already hooked up for you when you take it out of the box :)

for my motherboard and intel i7 i most likely do a finance on them, i found this bundle (link)

but the best finance plan with scan last for 24 months (ideally i want a 12 month can't find any)

as for the others parts under a £100 each so i spend across a few months

i might do a water cool another time if and that's a big if, when built and i have screw anything up.
