I currently already have a CPU (i5-4440) and a Motherboard (Gigabyte B85M - D3H) and a 1TB Seagate Drive. What I would like to know is, I do not have any other cables with the motherboard other than the ones used, so do I hv to buy any other cables? Im also not sure whether to get the NZXT H440, Define R5 or the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. Also, everything is compatible right? Thanks!

1st- You have picked DDR4 RAM and your motherboard only supports DDR3, so take DDR3 RAM
2nd- I wouldn´t buy a liquid cooler for an I5, instead of that, expend the money on a better GPU like the 960.

Thanks for your response, I picked the wrong version of the RAM. I dont need a liquid cooler? its because I prioritize Silence, hence the case options. BTW, H440, Define R5 or the Phanteks Enthoo Pro?

you have air coolers as silent of that liquid cooler, and if you want silent, you must watercool all your sistem, because the GPU is going to make a significant amount of noise, more than most aftermarket CPU air coolers, the CM hyper 212 evo is very cheap and in low RPM very silent: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1726600/loud-cooler-master-hyper-212-evo-terms-dba-decibels.html , but you can search for some noctua coolers that are a little more expensive and more silent. And sorry, I don´t know too much about cases.

I am opting out with a Liquid Cooler as it is future-proof and I plan on upgrading my CPU to an unlocked one. Thanks so much for the knowledge. Silence is my top priority.

ok, but keep in mind that liquid coolers are not a lot future-proof, because in two to three years the pump could start making noises or die (They have a relatively short amount of life), but if you want a liquid cooler all is ok, the RAM is now correct and all the rest of components are perfectly compatible. Enjoy your PC!!!
