Need advice please !

[KimiKimi]

Hello all, first let me introduce the rig which i'm planning to buy. It's for gaming and some occasional video editing/rendering. I don't mind spending the buck. But i would like to know if i'm spending on the right stuff. I plan to OC both my GFX & my processor.

My rig :

CPU - i7 4700k
MB - MPower Max Z87
RAM - Gskill RipjawsX 1866Mhz 8GB 2x4GB
GFX - MSI GTX 760 Hawk. ( Already bought )
SSD - Samsung 840PRO Series 128GB
HDD - WD 1 TB Caviar Blue 7200RPM
CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i
Power Supply - Corsair HX 650 80+ Gold

Still thinking of a case which would be good for this build as there is a H100i Involved, And also wanna blingbling inside with LED in the future. Constructive criticism are welcomed, Senior advices please.

Recommend you a white chassis that I'm waiting for that just landed in SG shores. NZXT H230. I'm waiting for hydra distro to ship to my hous e for free. that one comes with a 200mm fan mounted on top of the chassis. It can be removed to install your h100i. But IMO don't buy the h100i since there are so much bad reviews on it. Just get an h80 will do. It comes in white or black. $109 retail price.

Hi, thanks for your input. But what are the difference between a H80 and a H100i? Will the H80 be able to cool my oc-ed cpu?

H80 is a single 120mm radiator. It is able to keep youroc rig cooled. H100 is a long radiator. Slightly harder to mount. Might need to find a chassis that able to mount it on top.

I'm using Corsair 330R to mount the H100i, fits well..
