DAT STOCK COOLER!

Also Noctua NH-D14 for cpu cooler other than that, looks brilliant mate. Don't get the 800D if you aren't going to W/C it's an absolute hotbox.

Thanks Saltire35, I spent a little while on it... I got to say though I have never used MSI but I will in future, there motherboard software is prity good

though I wish they did a mat black pcb

lol

Hey Kara, Thanks and haha yeh that stock cooler is p****** me off lol but I am thinking about watercooling why I had it in mind (and have not yet picked up a cpu cooler) but if I dont then I will go with the 650D if nothing else is coming out...

I was thinking about the Noctua NH-D14 but it looks ugly! lol having a window and seeing that thing in there lol.

go for the 700D and ask corsair for a 800D side panel save a good £50 but you dont get hotswaps

How does this work? Do I go strait to corsair and call and place my order? Or what because that's a good tip
