Hi i was a console gamer but i got sick of the kids the mainstream ness that any 12 yearold kid gets a ps4 for christmas and the online experance becomes cancer.... so im going to buy a computer i have what i think is a high budget 2100$ before tax in canada please note american prices will not work as shipping computer parts requires duty to be paid ...

anyways from what i understand i need a gtx 980 for future proofing when it comes to cpus i hear intel is wayy better if you can afford it and hey the i7 is only like 400$ (What i paid for my car) LOL anyways if you feel amd has better graphics or cpus let me know i will be gaming at 1080p but if 4k screens are the way to go ill just pick up a 1000$ special next month also watercooling v air? thoughts or hey if you want to just build me a spec sheet that would be awesome!

Thanks all of the great community at toms hardware!! i hear you are the best

I would go with the h100i for 10 more bucks without giving it any 2nd thought.
also, for this kinda build i would consider more like the 400r or 500r or the obsidian series cases by corsair :)

One more additional point i would like to make, although its none of my concern, is that if this system is just for gaming and nothing else Then the i7 is overkill. I5 will perform pretty much every task like the i7 will (gaming)

Never go for 32 bit windows.. 64 bit is the way to go!

Unless you want to overclock like crazy, air cooling will do just fine.
