Hi everyone,
I'm looking to build my first gaming computer and i'm just after some advice of how i can improve it.
One of the important factors in the build is silence (hence the case) but i've been worrying about the H100i and the fact it will likely be positioned under the roof of the case which may lead to extra noise, anyone have first hand experience of this?
I have a 256 ssd already which i will use as my main drive and i went with an 850 watt psu as i may want to add a 2nd 780 ti into the system at a later date (and i plan to OC the cpu). I also heard good things about the motherboard and the processor, some may say i don't need 16gb RAM at 2400mhz but i have room in the budget so i may as well get it if it's going to be faster (if only marginally)
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated
Cheers.
