Somethings u might want to change is the cooler like u said u can go with a h100 if you really need to.
the ram u had was WAY overpriced its really only for looks....
the gpu u had was also WAY overpriced with 2 7970's ull be able to max anything out
u can also change the case if u want i just personally like that case and the razer deathadder is a really nice mouse im actually using a razer naga and its super nice
there are some other extra things on there like headset and other things ull have to add yourself but this will save u alot of money and get u ALOT more performance

Alright, I just chose the H100 because as it is spring and the temperature is quite warm, and when it's summer, it will become even more warm.

get this

power supply is the same

same monitor

-dominator ram is not better than any other ram
-you dont need extensions really. there is a 8 pin extension that comes with the case
-msi power edition 670 is better than the asus any day
-h100 isnt that good
-d14 has noctua fans
-coolermaster fans are crap
-the 520 isnt much better than the vertex 4. the vertex 4 is actually faster
-the 600t isnt that great either.
-do you have a 100+ dollar set of headphones? headsets dont really count

The temperature that a heatsink keeps the hardware at is directly related to the ambient temperature.
If Heatsink A is 5C better than Heatsink B, this difference will not change with an ambient temperature of 20C, or 40C.

The only thing better than the H100 is a Full WC loop, the H100 is the best easily keeps my i5 2500k @ 5.0Ghz under 77c. Try doing that with any other air cooler, it won't happen. Sorry I just find it funny to hear everyday on this forum that the H100 isn't that good, it makes me giggle.

H100 costs more for around the same performance, and unless you are going to do a 4 fan H100 i wouldn't get it.

Turtle beach are complete crap. Go for something better. try finding a better one.

heres my suggestion
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...

Im buying one for my brother on Christmas since his mic broke and i have personal experience with this from a friend of mines.

it is very comfy, the mic is a pull out mic(can hide or show) and is a very nice looking headset in all

well if my d14 can handle my i7 3770k at 4.5ghz 1.18v nicely at 58c with a ambient of 20c, its a better choice

Well, I like the base to the Corsair 600t. The CM HAF X doesn't really interest me.

haf xm actually


well try this case
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...

try 4.8Ghz 1.32v with the D-14....the H100 can do it

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/278801-29-corsair-650...

ok, for $30 more than a H100 you can get a clean Custom WC which will be tons better than a H100

D-14 costs less and performs "just as good" as a H100.

H100 fans are noisy but perform good. D-14 is at least 10 dBA lower than an H100 when it is on highest

actually i can but ill need 1.38v
