Final build checkover + case + CPU cooler

Forum Systems : New Build Final build checkover + case + CPU cooler

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello everybody. This is my new gaming build. Could any of y'all check stuff over for compatibility just in case?
Newegg public wishlist:

Also, any other case recommendations/recommendations for a different CPU cooler? I plan on OCing.

Thanks everybody! Hoping to order tonight!

Only change I would recommend is getting the Cooler Master HAF 922 instead. It is a better case for similar price.

Thanks for the recommendation.
Any less flashy cases y'all could recommend?
Or with blue lights at least? :D

 

And is this cooler excessive for my overclocking purposes? I plan to push the i5 750 as far as I can at good temps.

 

Also, any other stuff I need for my first build?
I picked up some Arctic Silver 5 for heatsinking. Anything else I'll need?

less flashy.. but blue lights?

Cooler Master 690 II, Antec 900/902 are a bit less flashy (the 900/902 have lights but you can't turn them off easily, CM II you can turn then off I think)

It doesn't seem logical: $200 on a monitor and $200 on a graphics card. $0 on a sound card and $50 on speakers.

I have a CM II and you can turn off the front intake fan light.
I also have an Antec 902 and you can only turn off the bigboy top exhaust fan light.
A cheaper hsf alternative that will work and same quality just not as huge

Fantastic Cooler for the price, its meant to be called the Mugen, i had one before i upgraded to the Scythe Yasya, really nice, if slightly larger than others

Nice!

This is pretty much the Intel version of my build with a better video card, better cooler and minus a SSD.

I'd love to post comparing benchmarks!
