My build is Black and Red (mainstream :p) based. Im trying to get the most performance and overclockability out of these 2. Should i go with the Corsair 450D and the Cooler Master Nepton 280L or the NZXT H440 and the Swiftech H320 which is available for preorder (was). These cost almost exactly the same (give or take $10). Help would be MUCH appreciated :)

I do somewhat like the HAF cases and would prefer an air flow case but none of the HAF cases that i want are available here. A quiet case isnt that bad even if it is at the expense of some cooling. It does look nice though :p

While part of this thread was about cooling for overclocking i also want to ask about this for overclocking, i found a motherboard that would suit my build: ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Professional, it has the top 2 PCI slots wired for 16x so i can have the first card on the top most slot and the second in the middle and if i dont like the audio on the board (which is one of my main concerns) i can move the card down and add a sound card, although in my opinion they should remove the audio off the board entirely so they can add another 1x slot for sound cards, the board is Black and red PERFECTLY its got all the features im just not too sure about ASRock, check out the board and give me your opinions :)
