I'm not planing to OC in the near future so I got the i5-4670K to have the option to OC
the case comes with 2 fans (Front: intake | Back: exhaust) But I got these two extra fans to get more air flow. is that necessary?
My questions:
Can I stick with the stock CPU cooler? until I want to OC?
I got the Hybrid drive because of the budget but can I get an SSD later and re-install the OS on it?
What do you think of the build? is everything compatible? what should I change/remove?
