]New to the site and new to building a computer from nothing. In 2005 I used to own a Dell XPS15 which I played Counter Strike and the Source variant. I currently have a MacBook Pro 15in late 2010 model which I was playing WOW on and was doing good untill what i believe my HD crashed. So when I return home from my trip overseas I plan on building a dedicated gaming machine :]
I also had a few questions on some parts of my build, not sure if I should ask them here or on a subforum.
I plan on ordering parts around Feb or Mar..
On to my question.
Whats the difference between the CPU coolers H80i and H105 and H100i? I see a lot of people just getting the H105 so I picked it due to popularity.
What are the differences in SSD? They all seem have the same ratings...
Also I am looking for a Mobo that has at least 4 fans controls on the board since i plan on using 3 reg fans and one for the water cooler, and also is the board I listed good? I was also thinking of getting the ASRock Fatal1ty Z97M Killer as well.
And my last and biggest concern is which Mobo has a great UI for doing some overclocking of the CPU and GPU...
CPU Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
