This is my future build:

-I5 4690 @ STOCK
-Corsair H110
-Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GB
-8GB (2x4) Vengeance Pro @1600
-Asus Z97-K
-WD Caviar Green 1TB
-THERMALTAKE CORE V51



IS XFX TS SERIES 650W 80PLUS BRONZE ENOUGH?

I have the D-15 myself and I have to say it's the best cooler on the market. Solidly built and dead silent.

There are other air coolers which perform similarly and don't have the brown/beige scheme like the Phanteks PH-TC14PE, Cryorig R1, Theramltake Silver Arrow, etc.

Of course all of these are very overkill for running a CPU at stock speeds.

If you insist on an aftermarket cooler with some bling to it try this Zalman:

Why would you buy a h110 with a locked i5 if you don't plan to overclock? Also if you don't plan to run sli 970 you could save some $and go with a cheaper H97 motherboard.

The 650W XFX would be more than enough, you could get away with a 550W unit.

Well i never did an Overclock, that's why i din't put a 4690K (also doesn't seems eazy)

And i plan LATTEEEERR put a 2nd 970 :3
And also, i like the aspect of H110, and want low temps even at stocks.

Are you in the US? I would get a cheaper locked i5 if I were you such as a 4460. Overclocking isn't hard at all, but the performance gain for gaming is relatively small.

You don't need a h110 to keep your CPU cool, a 212 EVO would work great and it's only $35.
