swap out the supernova NEX for something else, they aren't very good. the supernova b2/g2/gs/gq would be better options for similar prices.

What if you want to upgrade to SLI, then wouldn't you need 750w

He didn't say don't get 750W, he's merely telling you that particular psu isn't very good, also with dual 1070s you would be fine with 650W since they use hardly any power

 

Oh and I prefer the water cooled one since 6 core cpus need really good cooling if you plan to oc at all

Ok so the water cooling over aesthetics is the general consensus?

Air cooling is always quieter, and the NH-D15S can outperform some AiOs when another fan is added.

Yeah you'll get a lot better performance, aesthetics are nice and all but performance is king in my book

 

@TheRandomness well yeah noctua fans would qualify as trading performance for aesthetics

Does anyone think a cooler like this would be better? https://www.amazon.com/Be-Quiet-Silentwings-Cooler-LGA775/dp/B00HPX7J4K/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1466862190&sr=8-6&keywords=masterair+maker+8

 

Also know that the 2nd build with liquid cooling is intended to be very quiet, so how can I make it even more quiet?
