Hi everyone,
my rig needs a refresh
Currently I have:
Q6600 (@3.2) + Zalmann 9700
Asus Maximus Formula
2x2gb DDR2 800
MSI Twin Frozer 6950 2GB
Intel 320 160GB
WD Black 1TB
Corsair AX750
a 10 years old Thermaltake fulltower case (I don't know the model XD )
New rig:
i7 4770 (non K version) + Corsair H100i
Asus Q87M-E/CSM or Asrock Q87M vPro
2x8GB DDR3 1600 1.5v
MSI Twin Frozer 6950 2GB
Intel 320 160GB
WD Black 1TB
Corsair AX750
Fractal Define R4
PC will be used for pretty much everything with a focus on games.
I need the non K version for vPro/vt-d and a Q87 chipset for the same reasons.
I don't plan on OC (obviously is a non K ) but i think that a couple of hundreds mhz is possible:

If OC is not possible with non K version or these MBs (but from the manuals there are plenty of settings for OC) , undervolt would be nice for lower temperatures.
I don't know yet which MB is best, ideas?
Any suggestion on RAM will be appreciated (possibly sticks with no heatsinks or low profile, this guy says that there is little room for tall ram

but maybe is because he use a mITX MB, mine would be a mATX )
My idea is to put the H100i in the front as an intake, as exhaust a single 140mm (R4 default) with the option (if temps are bad) to add another 140mm on the side as exhaust.
ps. I'm from Italy so no newegg and sorry for my bad english XD
