ya i got 2 sets of it at tradepac for 220. so around there.

if 129.99 i also hoot ah if can get free shipping

I think can't already. Unless Amazon tell me free shipping with 129.99 now la, and that's very very unlikely.

Anyway, if you read the first few posts, the cooler recommended was the H100i.
Should i go h100i and buy non-stock fans? Or go for aircoolers straight away?

you serious? or are you really just joking HAHAHA. What air cooler do you recommend? I think the only thing left for me is the cooler, and maybe the "780 ti beast" thing you mentioned hahaha.

Well H100i may not be the best AIO cooler out there. There are some Air cooler like noctua could be the beat the AIO for that also.

But the price lol.

So the H100i has the best performance per dollar at this price point? Do you recommend me to change the stock fans so it's less noisy?

oh ya, any idea how much is the asus gtx780 non-ref?

thanks!!

$735

Yes if you want to change to other fans by all means do so.

SP120 is one good fan by Corsair.
Gentle Typhoons do make good static fans.

Hey guys. I'm planning to go for the i5-4670k.

But I know i7-4770k has hyper treading which helps in editing.
My question is if the i5-4670k can still handle editing but just as fast as the i7?

Anyway does the Noctua Fan have international warranty?

No it does not have international warranty.

Next is the i5 or i7. No it will not handle as fast as the i7. So yes depends on what you really want.

if i go for the i5, my budget can get me the GTX780ti.
The Zotac GTX780Ti is with reference cooler right? $999 one?

Yes. But the thing is what are you intending to use on a gtx780ti?

GTX780 is quite a beast also. If you need for editing stuffs, it is still advisable to go for a i7 than a gpu.

Alright thanks!

I'll go for the i7 and the gtx780.

Again, regarding the ASUS vs MSI thing.
From what I know Corbell which is distro for MSI has very good after sales service compared to Ban Leong (ASUS). Hence, is it advisable for me to go for the MSI MOBO and GPU instead of ASUS MOBO and GPU?

Thanks!
