Hi I am about to buy my build and I want to be sure if ASRock Z87 Extreme3 ATX LGA1150 , H80i cooling ,i7 4770k and r9 290 will fit in Thermaltake chaser A31 :)
 
Solution
The noctua will work better than the H80i in the case :) Yeah 4.2Ghz with the 212 evo should be fine, you wont see the temps go out of acceptable ranges but the noctua will just be a bit cooler still.

Yeah they will fit :) The R9 290 will be bit of a squeeze though. Just a heads up though, there is only one intake fan and one extraction fan so if you use the H80i I think you will find it wont have very good airflow. You will be better off with a air cooling system, like a Cooler master 212 evo, and besides the 212 evo cools better than the H80i anyway.

really??? Well I wanted my cpu to have the best cooling possible with this budget so that's why I wanted H80i but if 212 evo cools better in this case then I will take this as I am more familiar with air cooling :p ...lastly if was to buy H80i can you recommend me a better case with similar value of money that will get better results than the 212 evo? thank you ;)

I don't really care about the appearance of the case as much as the space and air flow :p...I live in Greece and coolermaster n600 costs 100 euros (+20 euros above from the thermaltaker chaser a31) so...I prefer the chaser one...also if take air cooling should i go with noctua NH-D14 or evo 212??

Well the noctua is more expenisve, and really has quite a massive heatsink but it is really efficient and cools well. If you're looking to do some moderate to high overclocking on the i7 it's probably best to go with it. The 212 evo is a bit smaller and should do fine if you just going to do a bit of low level overclocking or leaving it at stock clocks.

Thank you..sry if I am being tiring but would the noctua be better than the h80i in the thermaltaker chaser a31?? ...and I don't I will do an overclock but if will I will reach about 4.2GHZ ...is this possible with the 212 or am i being unrealistic??
