Final decision

I have been making a thread almost every day comparing Graphics cards and things but I have finaly decided to go SLI with my gtx 670, buy an h100i, and add another ssd rather than buying an MSI R9 290. I think it is a better decision for preformance and since I play at 1080p I will not use more than the 2gb vram. What do you guys think of this decision?

If you're just gaming, I wouldn't spend so much money just to cool your cpu.

It performs well and looks better depending who you're asking.

Also, Corsair is popular and screams quality more so than Cooler Master is some people's eyes.

 

Also, there are those who want to hit 5 ghz.

I just want to overclock to 4.4-4.6 Also if I buy a Twin pack of SP120s and put one fan on each side will that improve it alot?

No. It might improve by 1-3 degrees and be louder.

oh ok. I would only be doing it for the looks also because all I have is black Components and I need something to be red in there. Should I put a Corsair AF140 in the back of my R4 then?

Alright. Will the EVO fit with my ram because almost every cooler Ive seen so far doesnt. Also a friend showed me this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812162040

I want to extend all of my Cables with them and since I dont have access to my computer right now and I cant think of it off the top of my head, which of these would I need to extend for the Cables that go around and plug into my gpu, mobo, ect.

...What ram? THIS is why you plan your system as a whole and not part by part.

Just look up the parts in your system..

I did plan my system as a whole. The only thing i didnt have at the time was Money for a cpu cooler. There are PLENTY of options.

Personally I'd go with water cooling for the simple fact that it's not as intrusive as most other options

Yep

You should be able to just move the ram to the farther ram slots or switch the fan on the Evo from push to pull to fix any clearance problems.

You should be. I'd get lower profile ram just in case though.

Just asked if I would be ok with regular ram and I will be. Someone with the same setup as I was going to use has it fitting perfectly.
