Hey Ya'll,
I am building a new rig for myself...and giving my old one to my wife as the house computer. I am having trouble deciding what cooling system to use Liquid or Air...I use the V8 by Master Cooler in my current rig and it does just fine...however this new rig will be geared more towards gaming and high end work with Photoshop and Lightroom So I'm not sure which would be best to keep everything at a decent temp. Here are the specs.

Your thoughts and advice are appreciated! :D 


Chassis: Corsair 350D
Motherboard: ASUS Gryphon Micro ATX
Liquid Cooling: ?
Air Cooling:?
Processor: Intel i7 4770K (Planning to Overclock)
Memory: Corsair Vengence 16GB 1866 MHz DDR3
Graphics Card: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 (will have 2 when the funds become available :D )
Hard Drive: DUAL 128GB Samsung 840 Pro Series SATA III
Hard Drive 2: 1 TB SATA (WD)
Power Supply: 1050 Watt Corsair PSU?
Optical Drive: DVD Buner 24x
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate

Dear you can buy Noctua NH-14D or NH-U14S for air cooling. If they are not in your budget go for Cooler Master Hpyer 212 Evo. No need to go for liquid cooling or AIO.

Thanks for the quick post, the Noctua's do fit in the budget! As a follow up question...will these fans still suffice even if I eventually add the extra Graphics card? Or do you foresee an upgrade to liquid or more fans?

Noctua will help keep the CPU temps normal. If you are concerned about the addition of more GPU and overall heat effect you can add Fans for further cooling. No issue at all.
