Greetings adventurers!

I'm going to build a new gaming PC this upcoming week, with some parts from my current PC. Follow this topic for result pictures after new build is up :)

 

The new build will have a new case + GPU (rest of the parts from current PC). Here's a picture of my current PC: http://imgur.com/a/qelsC
As you can see, the current Chieftech case looks really bad, has poor airflow, and no cable management options. Therefore, I have decided to house my new build inside a case with better space & options. I have also sold the GTX 970 Strix in the picture, for better performance from a new GPU. Below is the final build parts/specs :)

 

New build - part list: 

 

CPU: i7 4930K (4,4GHz OCd)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (NEW)
RAM: 24GB DDR3 @ 1866MHz
MOBO: ASUS X79 Deluxe

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master: Hyper 212 EVO (considering to get water cooling for higher OC/better temps. Any recommendations?)
PSU: OCZ ZT 750W
HDD: Samsung - 475GB
SSD: Kingston 225GB 

Case: Fractal Design - Define R5 Black (NEW)

 

Currently, I'm just waiting for the new GPU + Case to arrive, so I can start building. Do you have a suggestion for a strong liquid cooler for my CPU, so I can overclock higher with lower temps?

As mentioned above, follow/tag this thread for result pictures of the new build. Wish me luck :) 

Main:  1650 v2   @ 4,6GHz   -   X79 Deluxe                -   GTX 1080 @ 2000MHz   -   24GB DDR3 @ 2400MHz / CL10

Side:   i7-4790K @ 4,5GHz   -   Maximus 7 Hero        -   GTX 1070 @ 2114MHz    -  16GB DDR3 @ 2666MHz / CL12

I would recommend the corsair H100i as it is has a 240 x 120 mm radiator which provides more than enough cooling for stock clocks and good headroom for overclocking.

*2x120mm or 240mm as what you're saying is 240x120 which equals 28800mm ;) 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Oh i meant to say it has 2 120mm fans which means it has a 240mm by 120mm radiator :)

But it's loud AF so get aftermarket fans for it.

Thanks for your suggestions! I did some research on both. They seem to cool down a CPU hard, but both has loud fans, and read that the Kraken X61's software/drivers has a lot of bugs. Hmmm...

This particular AIO is really good but its fans aren't, so get some good ones for it.

Thanks again for another suggestion, but I think I'm going to stick with my CM: Hyper 212 EVO for now. Let me finish the new build, and maybe then I'll see about watercooling. Now, let the waiting games begin! :D

Main:  1650 v2   @ 4,6GHz   -   X79 Deluxe                -   GTX 1080 @ 2000MHz   -   24GB DDR3 @ 2400MHz / CL10

If you don't mind the 212 EVO sound, serve yourself.

 

Consider buying the good fans first, put them on you EVO and then later get watercooling :)
