Hey guys, putting together a new gaming rig, and I have to make up my mind this week on the missing parts, since my brother is currently in the US and will bring them over for me.
The CPU will be a 4790K, and trying to decide on a Z97 motherboard for it.
Almost decided on it, but one thing bothers me...
One of the attractives of the board besides the features are it's looks... However, looking around for some pictures I can see that my video card will maybe cover up part of that sexy heatsink woth the led! Specially since I have a looong card (Sapphire Tri-X 290). And what's more, some people said well, it's kinda overkill for 1080p gaming, so upping the challenge I'm considering a triple monitor setup, and wanted to get a second R290. Looking at the board, seems I will cover up more of that heatsink/led still... So what's the point???
Will I be turning this into an ugly to stare at build in the end? I even don't want a big ass cooler so I will use a Corsair H100i (replacing the stock fans of course...).
