Looks good except for the cooler. I'm not a big fan of any of the closed loop coolers, especially since the coolit isn't that good. I personally would get a high quality air cooler for that kind of money or if you really want the closed loop water cooling then get an h70 instead. For air I recommend the hyper 212+ as its price/performance is amazing.

the hyper 212 really so which would you choose the h70 or the 212 ive personally never like the weight that these large heatsinks put on the mobo, the coolit ive read has done fairly well by some comments left on newegg 2 users overclocking their 950s.

I prefer the hyper 212+ mostly because it's $30 compared to the h70's $110.

ok i have 3 options to finalize my build.
1. keep the 1tb f3 and the h70
2. keep the 1tb f3 and the coolit
3. get the 2tb and get the hyper 212

which would u guys choose because im very indecisive on the matter.


will the hyper 212 allow me to overclock the 950 a decent amount or do you guys have another airflow cooler to recommend

I would go with 3. as the 212+ would offer cooling performance similar to the ECO and the H70(+1 to anonymousdude, IMO $110 for a cooler is not worth it)
Why not this 1.5TB Samsung + ECO ?

The 212+ will easily allow for overclock upto 3.8GHz without any issues and with another fan in Push-Pull config, you can touch 4GHz,...(But dont go above 3.8GHz as there is no significant performance increase compared to the power consumed)

ok my budget is 1500 but if i keep it at 1300 then thats 200 in my pocket, so with that said. I can get the Coolit Eco +2tb f4 and still be right at 1300$ and some change. what do u think

If I were you I'd get two of those 500 GB drives and run a raid 0 array. and what is your monitor? have you considered running a triple monitor set up? they are incredibly immersive.

oh ok the 212 it is then, one other question do you think that case and psu are fine or do you recommend something else, will it have enough airflow and i know haf is high air flow, on the hyper can you recommend another fan for a push/pull setup, ive read it works awesome with the hyper

I really can't hate on your system the specs are solid. Only thing I would change is I would get a velociraptor. People say you wont feel the difference but to me it is like feeling the difference between an i7 930 between the 950 it maybe very small but once you get used to it you feel the difference. That may all be in my head though. Great build and that GPU I WANT IT!!!
