so i made the right choice by dropping the board back down and getting the intel card?

*sigh* i really like the look of liquid coolers.

however you guys think the build is about done?

 

[TheBigTroll]

you could get powerline instead of wifi. less latency and generally better speeds

I'd say your good,add the H100i if you really do want it. It's your PC after all

 

[TheBigTroll]

if you want closed loop, the only one id recommend is the swiftech h220. costs more but then it is built properly. but then again, there is not much of a advantage over something 1/3 of the cost like the phanteks tc12dx

i know i could save by taking it off, however i think that the h100 or h100i and the fractal case w/ window will be my splurges for this computer, i kind of enjoy watching the parts and such...anyway i finalized it and am going to be ordering it in the next 2 weeks (parents said they would give me some extra money to cover shipping.... yay)

Have a blast. Enjoy
