I have a new HDD so i dont need a new one. Is this biuld ok? can I get more for the money? Should I wait for Zen? also I need a recomendation for a low profile heatsink
 
Solution
I was unable to fit a monitor in, and so it might be pushing your budget a little, but here is what I would recommend.

Yes, the H55 is a water cooler that performs about as well as most air coolers. However, I have an Elite 110 (Basically the same as the Eilte 130 but smaller). I would much rather that the CPU heat be exhausted directly out of the case than sit around inside for another fan to vent out. That's how my current rig is set up and I'm experiencing much better acoustics and thermal performance. If you decide not to water cool, the stock cooler that comes with the processor should be more than enough for an i3. especially since you can't really overclock it.

I mean that is downward firing, SFF cooler. It isn't very tall, but most cases don't come any narrower than than an ATX PSU, so i'm really not convinced that kind of cooler has much use.

So while it may be flatter, if your case has a rear mounted 120mm and standard ATX PSU, the H7 will probably fit and undoubtedly provide greater performance for the price, just confirm it fits.
 


h7 is 140mm
 


I can only buy in amazon... and there is no monitor in you build...

Solution


thanks for your solution I like your build the only doubt I have is about the psu and ssd, I picked that ssd because of this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mydigitalssd-bp5e-ssd,4414.html and is the corsair better than seasonic?
 


The stock cooler should work just fine with that processor.
 


Never buy a Corsair CX series.
 


CX430 gets a 9/10 on jonnyguru. For a simnple build like this one, a CX series psu is just fine. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story4&reid=214
