Mostly for World of Warcraft, some other titles (Borderlands 1 and 2 mostly there), and developing android apps using Unity. I do plan on fiddling around with some overclocking at some point too.
I'm preferring to stay AMD due to the fact I'm completely and utterly disappointed with Haswell and the plans for Intel's next chip that I've heard about at this point. I personally am excited to see what AMD has up their sleeves at this point.
Fans:
The original rear exhaust fan will be moved up front to have 2 intake fans.
2 of the Enermax fans will be mounted on the Seidon for push-pull.
The fan from the Seidon will be inside the case, mounted to the HDD cage.
The final enermax fan will be on the bottom of the case serving as an intake.
Probably a bit of overkill for the cooling, but unless the noise starts to bother me, I'd rather be safe than sorry, and since all will be PWM controlled, the noise would be an indicator to me that I should look into things anyways
LoL.
