Looking for some advice before I pull the trigger on my build following black friday next week. I plan on doing some moderate overclocking and looking to step into water-cooling for the first time. I'm also looking at microATX for space concerns that I may run into in my next house. Please also note I have a Samsung 840 SSD in my current rig that I'll be pulling into this one.
