So, im really new to the whole wonderful concept of building your own PC, so im clueless whether i should use liquid cooling or not. I am getting a intel i7 6700k (4.0ghz quad core) or maybe a intel i7 4790k. i dont know which one i should choose, and also, i plan on overclocking for a little more performance.
Thats why i think i need a liquid cooler.
But i have no idea whether i should use it or not. Also im looking for a good case with lots of space and one that consist of metal and has good air flowing and noise decrease.

so, with all that said, any tips??

Reasons to get the i7 4790K v i7 6700K

Higher turbo clock speed: 4.4 GHz vs 4.2 GHz. Around 5% higher turbo clock speed
Better turbo clock speed: 1,250 MHz vs 1,150 MHz. Around 10% better turbo clock speed
Significantly better performance per dollar: 4.18 pt/$ vs 1.21 pt/$. Around 3.5x better performance per dollar
Higher Maximum operating temperature: 74.04 °C vs 64 °C. More than 15% higher Maximum operating temperature
Better PassMark (Single core) score: 2,530 vs 2,318. Around 10% better PassMark (Single core) score

If your going to OC then get a Kraken X61 or consider Corsair H110 or equivalent AIO Water Cooler.
Just make sure you have a decent case.
I like the Corsair range of cases and have a Full Tower...

I like the Corsair range of cases and have a Full Tower Graphite series 780T. Looks great and well built. More room to work, better air flow and will allow for AIO installation of twin fan radiator. Check it out.
