Just trying to get a little feedback on my options and which way to go with this system build been reading reviews until I'm blue in the face.

CPU - i7 3930 - I already have the CPU so don't try to tell me not to get it.

Motherboard - ASRock X79 Extreme6 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH

SSD - OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-240G 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Case - SilverStone RAVEN RV02-BW Matte black 0.8mm Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case or Corsair Carbide Series 500R White Steel structure with molded ABS plastic accent pieces ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Cooler - Undecided

What is coming over from my current system is HD 5870 & CORSAIR TX650, Now I haven't really decided if I want to or need to upgrade at this point my Video card handles everything I throw at it so I'm fine with it for now I might change that out later.

So any opinions on Liquid or Air? I live i Arizona so I like to keep my system cool and I'm not extremely worried about noise level however I'm still skeptical about liquid.

So with the $169 to $209 cost different you would definitely go with the Crucial? I heard the firmware issues were resolved and the reviews are showing the vortex drive topping out over everything else so I wasn't sure.

That memory isn't listed as being compatible on either Asrocks site or Corsairs site and at the same time the motherboard I went with isn't listed on Corsairs site which makes no sense as the other versions of it are. I'll take the low profile ram into consideration sounds like I need to decide on the cooler first and then go from there.
