Hello there!

I already got some of the parts and I m waiting for the 250D case and my final decision re the graphics card, the processor and the ram.

So far, I ordered and waiting for
250D Corsair case
Be Quiet Silent Wings 2 PWM 80 mm to use it as a rear case exhaust fan (i will decide for a second one also if i need it)

So far I ordered and received the following:

ASUS Maximus VI Impact
H100i
Noctua NF A14 PWM to use it as an front case intake fan
Dell Ultrasharp U2414H (Its an IPS 1080p display)
Samsung EVO SSD 250GB
WD 1TB Caviar Blue

Still undecided about the CPU the amount of Ram, the GPU and the two 120mm fans that will replace the H100in noisy stock fans.
I would be gratefull if you could help me in the following:

1. a) if the H100i fans are from the inside sucking air from outside to inside is this a pull or a push? Do we need high SP here or not?
b. If they are on the ouside of the H100i, throwing air from outside to inside is this a pull or a push? I imagine that this is the opposite as in 1a) right? Do we need high SP here or not?
c. which fans as replacement do you suggest. Mind that my case is black and my mama red so i m interested in something between balck, red (even orange) or black/red.
d. Will there be enough space to mount a touch control fan controller on the bay instead of an optical drive?

2. My budget for CPU+GPU+RAM is around 680£ . Which of the following do you suggest and why?

a. i5 (165£) + 8GB RAM (65£) + 780 (400£) OR X9 290X (400£)
β. ι7 (235) + 16GB (130) + ASUS 770 (245) OR EVGA 770 (270) OR ASUS 280X (270)
c. i5 (165) + 16GB (130) + ASUS R9 290 (330)
d. Suggest any combination u may feel is best for my budget.

Please consider that I m going to play games on a 1080p and I will use my PC as an all around - not only gaming (maybe some rendering, photoshop etc)

3. Based on 2. and my components which fully modular ( i want to change to red cables in the future) PSU would u choose and why? I want a reliable one up to 80-100£. How many W should it be?



I know that I asked already too much and I apologise for that! Thats my first build and I want to be as 100% ready as I can!

Thanks!
