Intel chips are notoriously better for gaming. This cooler is also nearly as good as the H100i minus to leakage risks, noise level and price. This card is also better for gaming for such a low price.

Well there are personal reasons why I choose AMD based system and not GTX card(no im not a fanboy).

Thx sourodip, I will think about that change.
sophiebeth100: If I ever want a pc for work and have the money that will be a high end intel based system, but for now, amd=gaming for me. Noctua is a good air cooler but I will need that liquid cooler.

15:30 edit: I changed the case & the psu.
New case: NZXT Phantom 410 black
New psu: FSP Raider 550W

Btw thx for the responses
