Got to check the fan controller. Cause the case in fractal website got mention about the stock fan controller is included in package. Those using dip switch type I think.

Not using that though... I got a Lamptron fc5v2 FC... quite good liao.

But, that aside, the other parts are good to go for future SLI?

Im ok with all the components.

The hdd you need till black? If you have lots of pics, videos then should be ok. Or else blue will be the best value out there.

My fren recommended me that since it was selling at $110... Blue is for mainstream? I would be using HDD to hold movies, music, shows, pictures, torrent downloads and games.

Yeah blue is more mainstream. Unless you hold raw photos. Mkv contents that are huge and many etc then black Is more for you.

I want to SLI in future.... so B & H are out of the qn. Z87 extreme 4 is the cheapest among all, and fit into my colour scheme....

Nice rams

Thanks.... I got it at the price of the 1600 MHz, since 1600 mhz only got white led, and 2133 mhz got blue led.... so, no brainer to get it... haha

 

[m.garz]

i'd say go with 4670k, you may want to OC in the future.

you can get the MSI Z87 G45 as a cheaper alternative.

Just my 2 cents
