I'm going to be building my pc come next month or 2. With either build my original cooler of choice was the nzxt kraken x62. But decided to downgrade, I'm willing to sacrifice a little OC performance to save money. 1st question is, should I stick with the kraken x62 or with the noctua. Lastly my other concern is deciding which build to go with for max performance on my selected monitor. I already have it just linking it to show you my monitor.
