NZXT Switch 810 Full ATX vs Cooler Master Cosmos II XL-ATX
so im building a new pc yay! the mobo i plan on using is a ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition (proc Intel Core i7 4960X or i might go with a Intel Core i7 4930K if i lose my patients and cant wait any long i have around 900 to spend each month on parts till its complete
im buying most of my stuff from ncix im getting a evga 780ti classified i know people say of you don't need tons of vram but watch dogs made that comment seem like b.s. that game uses tons of vram iv read a little that evga has a 90 day upgrade program or something so i might get a titan black i know speed wise the 780ti classified is faster but 6 months from now i dont want to run into a game that requires more then 3gb of vram and i have a feeling up coming games are going to need lots
so if anyone wants to add to this list like what psu i should get for these cases or cooling im not sure if i will go water i know if i don't go water i will at the least do something like a h100 i don't want a giant heat sink in my case also ram quad channel i have the rest ssd hdd dvd did i miss anything sorry for my bad grammer im a gimp and i know the h100 is water but im sure you know what i mean lol. one last thing i might not reply fast to you as im having problems getting a confirmation email from your site iv trouble shooted and i sent a message out and im waiting for a reply hope they can fix it soon anyways nice to mean you guys

''i cant understand is why you chose the i7 4790 you pare it with a mobo that im guessing my a water cooling built in must be good at ocing but the 4790 is horrible at oc read the conclusion in the link http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/core_i7_4790_proce... ''

thats normal its not a k cpu , thats why i asked you to wait the release of the i7 4790K version
a cpu model without a K , mean its not overclocking compatible , i put it in the rig to give an approx price , so i guess in the futur the cpu i7 4790K will cost approx 360$

about the new Swiftech H220X ; it look like a very good choice

about the test review you linked

maybe i put somes hardwares you got already ? because i am not sure if i completely understand what you need exactly
i choosen the i7 4790 like a cpu , but wait until the new i7 4790K release before built it
i hope it can help
you will be ok for everythings you want to do
gaming/cfd/video editing/multitasking etc...

i do not want to put more watercooling hardwares because i am not a specialist on that
but i know the mobo i taken for you , have a vrm + power phases watercooling inlet and outlet included

thanks for your fast reply im still going over the stuff you recommended so far im reading up on the msi mobo im using a msi p55 gd85 right now i like the yellow and black theme one thing i cant understand is why you chose the i7 4790 you pare it with a mobo that im guessing my a water cooling built in must be good at ocing but the 4790 is horrible at oc read the conclusion in the link http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/core_i7_4790_processor_review,22.html i should also mention money isnt a problem i have 900$ to spend every month i know thats not alot and i dont want to take a year to build a pc but im pretty sure i could afford at min a Core i7 4930K unless im wrong and the newer proc and mobos are slower i need this rig to last 4 years my wife lets me build new rigs every 4 years so going cheap will only hurt me in the long run unless you know something i dont lol i should also mention im a gamer and thats what this build is for the more fps the better im gone crossfire in the past and had nothing but problems most games i ended up turning one card off just to play the game so id rather buy one bad ass card then two cheap cards in crossfire or sli i would like to be able to oc my proc and gpu so i have no problem if you choose a older socket if you think ill get better performance then a Core i7 4930K or a Intel Core i7 4960X over clocked. is a MSI Z97 MPOWER MAX AC ATX LGA1150 Motherboard better then ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition? also on the other site they showed me this cooler should be out in a few weeks http://forums.pureoverclock.com/general-hardware/24168-swiftech-h220x.html . by the way my current build is a msi p55 gd85 i7 860 16 gb of ram 850 watt psu but i think its dieing as i was having hard resets when running two 6970 gpu in bf4 if a massive explosion went off in my face it would reset so im guessing its my psu i dont need ssd or hdd i need a new rom as mine just died my case wont hold a e-atx mobo i do want a new case one of the two i just posted unless you know something way better oh my cooler is a old h55

it was done with a i7 4770K not a i7 4790K........
NOTE: For all Subsystem Testing, an Intel Core i7 4770K (3.5GHz) and 4x 4GB Corsair Dominator Platinum (2400MHz DDR3 10-12-12-31@1.65v) memory modules running at DDR3 1600MHz speeds (stock testing, up to 2400MHz overclocked) were used. The CPU was cooled with a Koolance Exos 2.5 and CPU-370 water block.

the thing to do is waiting the release of the new lga 2011 cpu and the new devils canyon lga 1150
and see the difference in price and benchmark

but i know you are limited in time so ? i really do not know which is the best solution for you in this situation

''do you know when the 4790k will be out or the last two lga 2011 cpu and the new devils canyon lga 1150 ''

LGA 1150 I7 4790K (in september 2014)

LGA 2011 (It seems that the Intel Core i7-5930K will be the sweet spot processor here, unless Intel will change the specs before officially releasing it, or announce another “better” Haswell-E processor along the way.

At this point, we know that Intel will be officially announcing the X99 Chipset soon, perhaps together with the Haswell-E processors. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen an X99 motherboard being revealed or leaked yet. I’m hoping that an X99 motherboard will be revealed during Computex or perhaps during Q3 of the year.)

ya iv been poking around and x99 seems like the way to go ddr4 sata express m.2 and who knows what other goodies there will be id hate to dish out big buck and not even 6 months im left in the dust i was ill start with the things that dont matter much like psu by matter i mean will be compatible with future hardware now the hard part not touching the $ and saving up the new gpu card will hold me off till then i wonder if i should wait out on everything case included. man its like a bad itch i just want a new computer lol
