Of course the case is your choice.

Since you are not overclocking, you could do without the cooler, and probably a cheaper motherboard. However the cooler reduces noise and it's just the safest option imo.

And since you have the budget for a nice motherboard why not? It's a pretty important piece. Plus if you do decide to overclock one day, you will be able to.

I suggest you keep that motherboard because it will let you OC if you would like to.

to be honest im really not into ocing and afraid to try because i might screw things up, but its nice to have a very durable mobo that would last for a couple of years. what do you think about the r9 280x, i think its cheaper but performs like the gtx770. would a gtx 650ti boost or gtx 660 be alright?

 

[Razor88]

The 650ti or 660 is a major step down from the 770. But if you can get a R9280x, then get that, it would offer really great performance.
