Hey, I have a few questions to ask, but here are my spec's first:
Case: Aerocool Vs-3 Advance PC Housing ATX Black (yes, I need a new case)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CX500V2 - 80 Plus
Motherboard: AsRock z77 Extreme4
CPU: i5-3570k - 3.4 GHz
Hard Drives: Seagate Barracuda 1TB, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz
Video Card: MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr 2G Gaming OC
I want to overclock my CPU to get some extra power out of it, I don't want anything crazy like 5GHz, something around 4-4.5GHz would be fine. I also need two new fans for my case, one for the front and one for the back, the front fan should preferably have blue leds.
So my questions are:
1. What CPU cooler should I go for, I would prefer not to spend over £100 GBP(roughly $160 US)
I've been looking at, the
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm) - £24 GBP - $39 USD (which is only a quarter of my budget)
and the,
Corsair 120mm Hydro Series H80i - £64 GBP - $105 USD
2. Which case fan would be best for the back of my case?
3. Which case fan would be best for the front of my case (blue led) ?
Oh and does anybody have any suggestions for a new case for my rig, preferably something not too expensive and not white, with good cable management.
Thanks in advance, Jason.
