Hi all, I hope to order my parts soon. HEre is my list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/mckinstryt/saved/mxp323

With the hyper 212 plus does it come with thermal compound? I was either thinking this case of HAF XB EVO but i had the money to spend on the nicer 540 so why not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Also, the motherboard i have selected currently is mATX which is supported by the case however for fan and gpu expansion i would perfer to have an atx board. Any suggestions on something around $125 and it has to be blue

The Gigabyte z87 d3hp is a nice motherboard but the AsRock Extreme4 is awesome when it comes to overclocking. The gigabyte mb supports only one gpu and cannot sli or crossfire bcoz the second pci-e slot is hobbled at x4 speed, but the asrock mb supports sli and crossfire. The gigabyte z87 d3hp has a terrible turbo setting (my experience). It always clocks the processor to its turbo mode but shows that it is in normal mode. If i were u, i would go for the asrock model. I own the z87 d3hp, it is a nice motherboard, but the best at this price point is the asrock z87 extreme4.

U dont need that big case if u arent gonna have large watercooling systems and huge crossfire or sli builds.U can have a simple case like the corsair 200r or the nzxt phantom 410. Ive edited the same build. Ive put a gtx 770 with only a small increase in budget.
