hello,

im building a new computer and i have this stuff in mind..: i am just wondering how many fans/coolers do i need?


CORSAIR Professional Series HX750
Amd FX 8150
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Ati Radeon 4650 HD
Normal DVD/CD Drive combo
RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WU- case
 
I'm questioning the graphics card as well, if your gaming you want at least an ATI/AMD 5770/6770 or Nvidia 460 level card in there,
Although you don't mention the intended use, we assume its a gaming build :p
btw 4Gb is enough for gaming, 8 is upper end and has plenty of life in it, 16Gb is more for people using heavy editing programs

Hi i was wondering if any of you had any info on the best cooler to get for my setup?

Gigabyte P55-US3L

INTEL CORE i5 750

8G,G.SKILL RIPJAWS 1600

XFX HD 6850 1GB

2X2TB CAVIAR GREEN

CORSAIR VX 450 PSU

NZXT GAMMA CASE

Now i was looking at the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus and the Corsair Air Series A70 but wanted to be sure that they would fit into my case, looking at some pics they look like they would overhang the ram slots any help would be appreciated and also any other ideas on the cooling front too, thanks
