Ok so i have found the necessary parts to build a computer that i would love to get but i want to overclock and the stock fan for the GPU and the CPU aren't good enough to overclock the parts high enough for a significant increase. I was wondering if someone could find a good fan i can use for overclocking my GPU and CPU from http://pccasegear.com/ because i'm in Australia.

 

GPU- XFX Radeon R9 290 4GB
Memory- G.Skill Sniper F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
CPU- AMD FX-8320 8 Core Black Edition Processor
MothrerBoard- Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P MotherBoard
Harddrive- Western Digital WD Green 1TB WD10EZRX
Case- BitFenix Shinobi Black Case
Optical Drive- Samsung SH-224DB 24x DVDRW OEM
Power Supply- Corsair GS-700 V2 Power Supply

 

Total Cost- $1160

Ummm... Noctua?

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

R9 290 is brand new. There are no better coolers for the card at the moment. Cards with better cooling are expected in the next few weeks, but who knows?

 

Air cooling of the cpu can be done with something like the Hyper 212 EVO which will do a decent job and even allow reasonable overclocking. Better cooling and thus higher potential overclocking on air would need something like the Noctua NH-D14. AIO (All-in-one liquid) coolers that would suit are the Corsair H60 or H80i which would give the best cooling of those mentioned.

 

I'd recommend that regardless of gpu and cpu cooling you add two 120mm fans to the front intakes of the case.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

You won't be oc'ing that much with that mobo. A Hyper 212 Evo would do nicely. As for the gpu, please wait for aftermarket 290's.

 

The build's a bit awkward to begin with. What's the system being used for? Budget?

I suggest you plan later--2-3 days at most before you buy. Parts and prices change frequently. Any build you have now is bound to change several times by then.

Well, I have Be Quiet! silent wings 2 in my rig, and they work out pretty well, Noctua, corsair and Gentle Typhoons are also good choices.

LOOK AT MY TUBE, MY TUBE IS AMAZING. DONT LICK IT IT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE ANYTHING. IT DOESN'T HAVE A MANE OR PENIS EITHER. SHUT UP.
