Hi I'm am building my first PC build, and I need help with finding a cooler for my CPU.
now I've got my eye on the Noctua D15... but I'm not really sure yet if i should get it, that's why I need someones suggestions, oh and I't needs to be a fan cooler, not a water cooler.
Here is a link to my build if you see any problems please tell me.

Looks like a solid air cooled build. You'll have a good time with the 4790K. If you ever think that you might not need the i7 then the 4690K will be great too.

Thanks! just one more thing, do you think 16GB of RAM is needed, or can I get 8GB to save some money?

8GB is what most people will be fine with. I personally will recommend 16GB just because you can never have too much RAM. But, also keep in mind that if you get an 8GB kit now and and get another one later then you might, not saying this is for sure, but might run into compatibility problems with the two 8GB kits. It's just kind of a rule of thumb to go with the one kit that will fit your needs now and in the future.
