Alright so I am finally decided on what pc I'm going to buy. I'm going to get an i5 4690 and a EVGA GTX970 FTW. I'm probably going to be overclocking one of these since I'm going to be playing skyrim with mods, witcher 3 on ultra, etc.. So I have no idea on what fans or cooling system to get to support this (I'm a noob to pc building mind you).

Not sure tbh I havent even overclocked before and don't even have the parts yet to try. I'm going to be overclocking it pretty hard though (don't know if that gives you a good range or not lol). My budget is around $50-maybe $100 if the $100 is very worth it. I'm currently looking at a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103179 I'm going to be using a full ATX tower.
 


for 100 bucks, do yourself a favor and get a corsair h100i or Cryorig R1 Ultimate or Noctua NH D15 or Noctua NH D14. That cooler there isn't really good for overclocking even though it is a liquid cooler.
 


Alright I heard from a buddy that the Cryorig R1 ultimate is really good. But I don't know for sure if it will fit in the case I'm going to buy (yes I sound really stupid here :/) If you could let me know if it will fit that would be amazing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854003
 


let me say,i absolutely love the enthoo pro! yes its a good fit!

but remember that you couldve googled it. its all in this link ------->http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2194097/fit-fail.html
