It's good, just don't SLI. Games don't support it very good.

Solid asfk. Just get a 500gb SSD instead.

Any other CPU cooler options? It's good but not aesthetically.

How about MSI Core Frozr L?

lakimens · Jul 22, 2017

It's a worse performer. DeepCool ASSASSIN II looks good and performs good if you need good looks.

envy14tpe · Jul 23, 2017

The MSI Core Frozr L fits the MSI theme. And it performs well. Not a bad choice. How about a Cryorig H5? Cheaper and will keep things cool. If you want to OC the 7700k you should get a beefier cooler or a 240mm rad. But then again you can get that in a year or 2.

Seems like Macho Rev B is much quieter and I think that it wont look very bad since motherboard is black like top of radiator and fan is white like msi logo.
But I may fall for full MSI build.. beside msi cooler, thinking about switching case to masterbox 5 msi themed aswell.

I wouldn't necessarily go for MSI theme but the color theme, red n black. If so, you could get a NZXT S340 Elite Red/Black.

Also, for cooler, Cryorig is all black and easy to go with red/black.

NZXT S340 Elite indeed looks nice but a lot of people complain about glass quality, saying thats easly scratchable or even crack on its own.

hayneken · Jul 23, 2017

Maybe Dark Rock 3 Pro, since its totaly black and seems to be the quietest? I think that I can deal with slighty higher price.

Glass looks like it isn't even there. Also, it doesn't attract cat hair and what not like 2014 acrylic crap. Go glass. It looks stunning. After I built my rig my gf cautiously touched the glass thinking there was nothing there.

As for cooler. Dark Rock Pro 3 is awesome, and will allow you to overclock to 4.8-4.9GHz. It's one of the top 3 air coolers out there.

Looks like Dark Rock 3 Pro will be 2mm to big for this nznx case, but is should fit in pure base 600 (window version)
