Hello everyone! To start off with I'm just looking for some general recommendations for hardware I already have access to cheap and I listed a few of my questions below.
Here is a list of my gear.
1. Intel Core i7-4790K Devil’s Canyon Quad-Core 4.0GHz
2. ASUS Z97-A
3. G.SKILL Sniper Series 32GB (4 x 8G) 2133
4. SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB (x2 in Raid 0)
5. EVGA 04G-P4-2983-KR GeForce GTX 980
6. Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System
7. Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro - 64-bit
8. CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750W
9. Antec 903 Case
I'm considering reusing my Antec Khuler H20 620 since it is still in good shape and it fits the LGA 1150 but ill be replacing the Antec fans with 2 Corsair Air Series SP120s. Ill also be replacing the 2 front case fans with the same.
My first few questions are:
1. Do you recommend I replace the Antec Khuler? I thought it should be sufficient for my new processor but I wasn't 100% sure. It's still in great shape.
2. Is there any reason not to reuse my existing case? The top fan is still working great and as stated above I'm swapping out the fans for better cooling.
3. What general recommendations would you have for target speeds on my cpu and memory? I'm just wondering what kinds of speeds I should start testing with.
Thank you in advance for any and all recommendations.
Erik
