Stick with the Hannspree monitor. It's not the greatest brand, but neither is Acer and that Acer is certainly not worth so much more $.

This is also a really good case and it's a little cheaper. This is my last reply to any of your 15 posts about this one build.

That is a fantastic choice of Processor. Many people think the Xeon's are just for servers - But this one is just a i7-4770 without integrated graphics.

May I recommend a monitor upgrade? Since Hannspree are not very reputable. Go with a brand such as Samsung, LG, BenQ or Acer/Asus. I bought a cheap monitor once and it broke just outside the warranty, it's not worth it, spend a bit more and it'll be better quality and last alot longer.

Also, for ~£15 more, you can get a Corsair H60 water cooler, which is better than the 212 Evo. I'll give you a link here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corsair-Hydro-Series-H60-Edition-High-performance-CPU-Cooler-Intel-and-AMD-Fac-/131155096355?pt=UK_Computing_Water_Cooling&hash=item1e8973f323

Other than that, this build looks great! :D

Thomas.

The Xeon's stock cooler is more than sufficient. You certainly don't need a water cooler. I say skip an after market cooler for now. You can add one later if you want. That would allow for you to get a better case since you don't like the CM K280

Here is a Acer G226hqlhbid 22" for £100 - http://www.ebuyer.com/538410-acer-g226hqlhbid-21-5-led-hd-dvi-hdmi-monitor-um-wg6ee-h05

I recommend this monitor.

Also, you don't HAVE to get the water-cooler, but it's only a £15 price increase and will perform a lot better and last longer.

Thomas.
