my choice of parts

I'll probably get shot for saying this but I don't actually think the thermaltake ones are that bad, for starters they don't do anything but the badging on it I think. They're pretty much Coolermaster seidon cpu coolers but thermaltacky.

I can't say but if you used it and experience it, who am I to argue but that's the only once available. I want a aio and I will go with it if I get a money back guarantee (in 7 days)

Would love the h100i

Wouldn't the new pentium aniversary edition be a good option in a Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel Z97, in UK prices, they work out at about £135, which is about £50 cheaper, he could then go for a 760, for about £170.

from what I've been reading the average OC on the pentium is around 4.2ish, so to me seams a good choice.

Prices differ cheapest Z97 R1 829 and that's more than my motherboard.

Went over the online shop and I don't see the point of such an expensive mobo tbh. I won't be over clocking and when I decide to I will upgrade the mobo. No point of spending so much now. If I had cash to blow it would be on a gpu or aio.
Thanks thought and I love asus boards currently have one now

If you decide to overclock at a later date, you'll have to upgrade your cpu as well as your motherboard, the one you have linked isn't a K so it's not overclockable mate.

Yes I know... But the pc is for gaming and on its own the cpu is good enough

Is it a good idea if I switch the Gigabyte GA-B85M-HD3 Socket 1150 for a MSI B85M-E45 Socket 1150? Simply because it has 4 ram slots and the supplier gave the quota for 4gb x2 because he don't have 8gb rams.
