Hi,
So, I'm checking to buy a new gaming PC and I would like to have your comments of this potential new build:
Case: Corsair Carbide 500R
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6811139009
CPU: Intel Core i5 3670K Haswell 3.4 GHz
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6819116899
Heatsink: Enermax ETS-T40
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6835214023
MB: Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813128592
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 "Windforce" 2 GB
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6814125463
PSU: XFX Pro Series 750W XXX SILVER
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6817207016
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6822148910
SSD: Samsung 840 Basic 120 GB
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6820147188
RAM: Kingston HyperX Black 8 GB @ 1600 MHz

The system will certainly change a bit because before I buy it because I'm looking to buy my first watercooling system instead of a heatsink.
- Which one do you recommend the most: Antec Kühler, Corsair H Series, Coolermaster Seidon, etc. ?
- Where would you put the radiator and how should the fans goes ?
- Should I replace the fans that comes with the radiator for better quality fans ? Which ones (except for Noctua) do you recommend ?
The Carbide 500R comes with 4 preinstalled fans: 2x 120mm on front as intakes, 1x 120mm on rear as exhaust and 1x 200mm on side as intake. For watercooling, I was thinking on removing the side fan (probably to do a window mod later) and put the radiator on top with two fans. Should I place them as intakes or exhausts ?
Thanks for helping in !
