Then I saw a cheap price on the EVGA CLC 120.  See what Canadian pricing is for that.  

seems to be about $82

You can probably find some cheaper than that, but I think they will be older gen 4 Asetek pumps and not gen 5.

how does the clc120 compare to the h60 or h55?

 

Is newegg good when it comes to custom service and what now, all my parts come out to be slightly cheaper from them vs amazon, but i dont want to end up having a horrible exp, cause amazon is usually pretty good about everything.

I've had exceptional service from Newegg. 

 

And which versions of those two would matter also.  They continue using the same name for different models and that's hard to compare.

Honestly, I can't imagine it doesn't at this point.  You'd have to get some very, very old stock for it to be absent.

is the extra money worth looking for b-die ram?

My preference is a big air cooler, like the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 or 4, or the Phanteks 14 one, but for the looks and for overclocking performance a water cooler is just fine

Take a look at the water cooler subforum, for details and suggestions, but the NZXT x62 is pretty good, but also the Cooler Master ML240L RGB is pretty good. My suggestion is the Cooler Master and maybe, in the future, stick 2 more fans or switch the stock ones with Corsair ML or Noctua (there are new black fans iirc)

So: NZXT is pretty good and it's nice, but the ML240L is half the price, is nice too and it's pretty good too (maybe 5 degrees more max) so... Hard choice! Btw, people tend to hate the Corsair ones, they told the pump is really loud and it suddenly stops working and blablabla, enough faulty reviews to not go with it

thanks for the tips.

this is what I think I'm going with for now, I'm gonna wait to buy a cooler for a little as I also plan on buying a ps4. I might end up going with a 2600x but only if the price of something drops a bit more

I think the difference is gonna be around $100 Candaian Geese Feet between a capable Hynix kit versus a quality b-die kit.
