Hi everyone,

I'm finishing up my build this week (thank you so much community for the help). Basically I'm building a gaming rig using the MSI Z-87-G45 mother board with either the 4670K or 4770K. I plan to overclock around 4.4ghz. Initially, I was going to use the Corsair H-60 but now I'm not sure. Other CPU cooling options seem to be the Noctua NH-D14 or Corsair H80i. I'd like to spend $100 or less. Any suggestions or better ideas?

My other question is about the case. I was planning on the NZXT Phantom (White) ATX Full Tower Case. My thought was a bigger case (i.e. full ATX case) was better for cooling and because I have a Geforce 780. Do I need a full ATX case? Is it better for cooling over a Mid ATX case? I was not planning on installing any additional case fans other than what's included in the case. Other good cases?

Thanks so much!
