Do you know if the 200 fans in general from coolermaster work or just this particular one? Trying to avoid newegg these days and cant seem to find this fan on amazon. I know noctura fans work but can be dicy with the top.
Thank you very much Igor and boomer for your replies regarding the fans and heat sinks. I was very nervous about switching out the fan on the side unless it was an identical match but if they recommended those replacements to you then thats completely fine. I will also pick out a heat sink for...
To answer your replies:
8g card was all in stock at the time and was an order of magnitude cheaper. I bought it cheap during cyber monday so I already have the card with plans to upgrade down the line if/when it bottlenecks the system. Other than the card, I have the harddrives/SSDs already...
Was wondering what the community thinks regarding my build. Thinking of this:

Or swapping out the case for a CORSAIR iCUE 5000T with ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB for cooling.

Thanks mfenn!
Only issue I have is with the mobo in the combo pack, never heard of it and thus doubt its quality. I trust in the judgment of those here so I think I am gonna stick with it unless I hear otherwise.
Sorry about the link paste rather than the descriptions. I am changing my build based off of what athadeus posted for a few pieces. Here is the updated list (hopefully in the proper format).
Processor/Motherboard combo: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W...
Hey again! I built my current computer about a year ago with everyone's input here and now I am looking for thoughts on a current build for a friend.
Their price is no more than 950 dollars (with shipping included) and we live in the USA with win7 home, monitor, and keyboard/mouse starting...
Thank you guys for all the advice! Ordering the parts today or tommorrow, depending on how busy today gets.
Just the issue of the OS and monitor remain unchecked for me. I believe I will take the advice and just get a full retail copy of win7 home rather than paying for the professional edition.
What would you recommend over clocking it to misterdonut? I have never done it before, therefore, I am more than a little apprehensive about it. I know there are guides on how to, but I am still concerned with stability and longevity of the parts.
fffblackmage,
I plan on doing a crossfire later on down the line as the price of this particular card drops down to around the 250ish range and/or when i pick up a soundcard/ more ram as the technical needs for games goes up. Could of sworn I put that in when i originally posted, my apologies...
Nice Campy, too bad it is out of stock, apparently has been for a little while.
Still wondering if I should try to find a 1200 monitor rather than a 1080...
Still was thinking of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...scrollFullInfo
for those of you wondering what the monitor i mentioned was.
I am trying to get a decent amount of power to last for 3-4 years. I am basically getting this computer free of charge (won the pool for parts) so I am trying to get more power than is necessary in order to insulate it from future requirements for games.
Is the monitor that i linked good in...
Have been playing on a 6 year old Dell XPS Gen 2 for quite a while and although it has served me well I believe now is the time to build a desktop. I am just looking for thoughts on this, only real part I have yet to fully decide on is the monitor and keyboard.
