I'm looking to overclock the fx 8350 to it's full potential and I'm looking for the right cooler and motherboard to do so. For the cpu coolers i've got my eye on the Noctua NH-D14 and the Corsair H100i. The Noctua costs £60 and is cheaper than the Corsair at £90, so I'm leaning towards the Noctua because of price and it's reviews say that this is one of the best air coolers. Is the Corsair worth the extra price? Will the water cooling be better than air? I am willing to pay extra for the H100i if it is worth it. Feel free to recommend any other coolers.
For mother boards I've got a budget of £100 and for that budget the boards reconmended are the Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 and the Gigabyte GA-990FX-UD3. The Asus supposedly overclocks slightly better and comes with more features, but I prefer the Gigabytes looks. Which board would you recommend? Feel free two reconnend a different board. I want the most overclocking potential, features and quality for £100. What sort of level OC would I be able to get with the cooler/mobo you've recommended? Thank you and sorry for the long post, just want to get the most out of my money
