I want buy a 4770K with a noctua air cooler, and I am thinking two options with the mobo:

-Asus Gryphon + Corsair 350D (mATX)
-Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H + Corsair 330R (ATX)

What mobo+case you recommend me and why?

Thanks.

Yes both are good, but think Asus has the better handle on the Z87 chipset, their mobos seem to OC a bit better and run cooler, that's why I went with the Asus Hero for my 4770K build

The noctua will be a NH-U12S or NH-C12P, maybe the first. The 350D is better case than 330R?

Yes, in this picture of a review I think that they used a NH-U12S: http://

Although it have a ugly optical drive but otherwise is nice. The 330R is more spacious but also more big. About the Mobos I really like both models/brands.

A last question, is recommended buy a adittional exhaust fan for the top of the case? or with the frontal and back of stock + noctua is sufficent? (I will moderate OC in future, no more of 4-4.2Ghz).
