-if you want more lights, get some cold cathodes:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16800888026
they plug right into your psu and you can put it in your case. they looks really cool.

-the psu seems to be having some noise problems (as per newegg feedbacks), and it is also discontinued = it most likely did have a problem and it has been replaced with a better model. I know this is a bit more expensive, but its really good :http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-tx650v2 OR :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207014

- I would get a WD Black instead of a blue, I hate waiting for folder and stuff to open / copy LOL

There is almost no difference in performance between the Blue and and black drives...

I would recommend these two changes:
Memory: Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory ($63.04 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: EVGA 600B 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($39.99 @ Microcenter)


I don't know why people continue to recommend air cooling for haswell build especially ones at this price point. The Seidon 240M is a good choice.

It's not discontinued, and as far as the opening and copying things that's what the SSD is for.

+ People's saying Asus Is better mobo than MSI
+ Why that one you put is better than the Asus Z87-a?
+ Didnt corsair memory's arent better than mushkin?
+ Difference about XFx Radeon hd 7970 vs Gigabyte Radeon hd 7970

And sorry about all this newbie's question i just want to be sure, and thankes for the suggestion..

Raid0 with two drives will provide better performance at the same price point. However, it is completely optional.

Both manufacturers build quality boards. The MSI board is actually $5 less with the bundle discount. I also like the fact that the MSI board has better expansion options since it don't have any retro PCIe slots.

Both make quality ram. This Mushkin kit is much faster than your original selection and well worth the extra $3


Better cooler.

Msi's mobo reputations are quite questionable and Asus is known to make the best motherboards available with Gigabyte. Also using two SSD's is a really bad idea. Plus Corsair 200r is a pretty small case, and the cooling system isn't that great.

Also if a pump failure occurs with a water cooled CPU cooler then it can it can overheat really quickly and god from bad to worse, possibly resulting in a loss of the motherboard/system.

I highly suggest to go with my build.

Do you just like to talk out of your rear without any real proof of your claims?
The Zalman Z9 is 19.84"H x 8.15"W x 18.27"D = 2954 cu in
The Corsair 200R is 16.9"H x 8.3"W x 19.6"D = 2749 cu in
The Zalman case has a whole 7% more area but it has less efficient cooling configuration and a mediocre layout. The 200R outperforms more expensive cases and has a great layout.

Furthermore, the Seidon 240M far exceeds the the cooling potential of the 212 EVO and the need for good overclocking is necessary in a Haswell build.

Raid0 provides better performance than any single SSD.

Lastly, I am unsure where you are getting the idea that the G45 Gaming board is sub-par...

Having some backing to your random rants would be nice...

-I would have to agree with the 2 ssd's being a bad idea, especially since you are replacing a good Samsung drive with 2x cheap drives. You may get faster speeds, but not only are they not noticeable in real world applications, but you increase your chances of failure by ALOT. I would never buy cheap SSDs especially since the technology is not fully matured yet.

-I do agree with watercooling. I also don't know why some people seem to love the cm212. It is a budget cooler, also pumps failures rarely happen, especially in closed loop systems that have been carefully optimized and designed.

- I personally would get an ASUS board, but that's me. I have NOT heard of bad things from MSI; that being said, I cannot recommend them, because I have never personally used them. I have always used Asus and it has been good, therefore I feel comfortable recommending that.

-case: Get a case that looks good to you. Most cases now, especially brand names ones have more then adequate features and airflow. Get one that you think looks nice, not one that some guy over the internet said it has 5% better airflow or 2 more USB ports. I think that cases are a personal choice. Look at some cases you like, and check out some reviews on YouTube, or even make a small list, and as the forum to help you decide.

I went to this on memory's

and i get this comp. issue


Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.
(Flag compatibility notes as incorrect.)

this looks great. also the memory isn't an issue. Haswell can run with 1.65v memory safely.
