Hi guys, First post here so hopefully I don't mess anything up. I'm currently starting to get parts together for a build. Here is my Pcpartspicker link for starters. I'm looking to do gaming mainly starcraft 2 and Diablo and possibly some fps in the future. I know the processor is somewhat overkill for this but I just didn't want to move down from my current i-7 when building this.

I have two options selected that i'm looking for more feedback on.

1. Water cooling- Never done water cooling. Looking around it seems like corsair is the go to for water cooling, but i'm looking for some community feedback. I have choosen the Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler. Should this meet my needs for the i7 4770k once it's OC or will I need something more substantial?

Second question is related to Ram- Honestly this topic I get a little lost. Right now in my current I7 i'm running some ballistix 1866 with CAS9 and i'm very happy. Looking for the same type of performance with this build or higher. Is the Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory sufficient for this need or again should I be looking towards another type?


 
Solution
That ram is good, the cpumcooler is a little overkill though, maybe an antec kuhler 920 would be better. Are you using it for rendering etc.? If you are, get a 7950/7970. Better compute performance

Will do some research on the antec kuhler 920 tonight, computer is mainly for gaming, might do some video editing down the road, but nothing now.
