I am building a PC, I have created so many threads one person reading this has probably seen by now, I just want this PC to be perfect. So here is what I am going to put on the ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer.
I7 4790K 4.0GHZ
Nvidia Geforce GTX 780 TI Twin Frozr Edtion x2
16 GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 2133MHZ
Crucial 512 GB 2.5 Inch Solid State Drive
WD Black 4TB 7200RPM HDD
Corsair RM 1000 Series 1000w 80 plus GOLD certified full modular power supply
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
Windows 7 Professinal
Corsair 750D Case
So with that being said I have a few compatibility questions and how good the mother board is.

1. So well, how good is that motherboard? Is it a good quality?
2. Will that Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler work? It says 120 MM and I'm afraid it wont fit on the motherboard or something.
3. Should I change the Hyper 212 EVO out for something else like enermax watercooling?
4. Will this case already come with fans in it or should I buy my own to get in there?

Thanks in advanced for all of your answers!
 
Oh thanks! And the two 780 ti's are because New Egg doesn't have the 980's in stock yet 🙁. And also should I replace the included case fans for bigger fans or just leave them stock? Will this pc get hot?
 
the PC should be fine temp wise, If you go for GTX 970 SLI those cards run even cooler, so temperature will be reduced as a factor. The stock fans are fine, just put fans in where there are free spaces.


The GTX 970 is far better value and are only 10% slower then the GTX 980, for around half the price. That's value. Compared to the GTX 780Ti, it is behind but not by a huge amount at all, you'll also save much more.
