I'm loving your build. Just 3 things though.

Firstly, You won't be needing an aftermarket cooler (even in the desert heat) if you're not looking to overclock.

Secondly, your build looks almost too perfect. You've either been researching very well or did you just copy paste this from some system builder thread?

& Lastly, a $1500 comp in a trailer? Just curious!

My concern about the desert heat is the computer will be at 100 degrees becuase I dont run the airconditioning in the trailer, so the processor will start out at 100f. As i understand it any cooler including stock coolers can only cool down to ambient temperature which in my case will be 100f in the summer.

And yes i did a bit of research, most my choices were based on price and building a computer that will hold up for the next 7 years, i hope.

I would be a $6000 comp in a trailer if i wanst so cheap, but i do love my games.

I have deciced that the PSU will fit the case but since i am leaning towards the CORSAIR Hydro H70 for cooling and the P 183 case only has 2 exaust fans i was thinking of using COOLER MASTER HAF 912 Case and mounting it out side the case on top, but i am still concernd about excess dust build up in the computer.


Anyone?

Past the Point of Reason:

With rapidly-increasing prices over $200 offering smaller and smaller performance boosts in games, we have a hard time recommending anything more expensive than the Core i5-760.

Conclusion: A Trend Toward 3+ Cores

The average optimal number of CPU cores suggested by the test results is 2.75, showing a clear trend towards at least three CPU cores.The question of whether the CPU or GPU is most important is easily answered. If you don't have a multi-core CPU, then upgrade it. If you have a dual-core CPU at around 3 GHz, then invest your money into a graphics card, as most games are GPU-limited. This is not something that will change with new DirectX 11 games.
