Amazing cooler

COOLER MASTER RR-T812-24PK-R1 120mm Sleeve TPC 812 CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel 2011/1366/1155/1156/775 and AMD FM1/FM2/AM3
COOLER MASTER RR-T812-24PK-R1 120mm Sleeve TPC 812 CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel 2011/1366/1155/1156/775 and AMD FM1/FM2/AM3

Pros: Best in class cooling performance. Very quiet under normal operation. Easy to install. Looks very nice and the size is very good even with the fan installed.

Cons: A little bit of noise under high CPU load but not that much really(especially if you have a silence case like corsair obsidian 550d). There's an adapter to keep the fan at lower speeds if you want more silence than full performance so...maybe this is not a con.

Overall Review: If you want a good looking, quiet and high performance CPU cooler I really recommend this one

Outstanding

LIAN LI PC-V750WX Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI PC-V750WX Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: 1. Extremely well built. 2. Extremely beautiful. 3. HDD and SSD mounting mechanism amazing. 4. Lots of space for everything you need. 5. Cable management amazing. 6. Size of mid tower but fits everything like full tower. 7. All aluminum construction, very light weight but very sturdy. 8. High quality dust filters. 9. Front mounted power supply works very well, makes cable management easier. 10. Good airflow with(almost) all fans included, but there's a good reason one fan didn't come with the case 11. You can mount tons of HDD and SSD in drive cage, BUT in the floor too. 12. Hot-Swappable hard drive cages if you want that. 13. Attention to detail in this case is outstanding, simply amazing, all parts are high quality nothing cheap. 14. Optimize for Air Cooling. 15. Doors open and close mechanism is amazing, no thumb screws to open or close doors. 16. Paint is not easy to scratch. 17. Graphics card holder works very well if you have a very heavy graphics card, otherwise don't use it case looks much better without that install.

Cons: 1. Few water cooling options, especially top mounted radiators like H100i, there's not enough room on top for H100i with fans.

Overall Review: I don't believe it but I don't Think the price is a Con in this case. This case is simply worthy of every dollar. Is amazing just outstanding, first time I spent so much for a PC case but I'm happy, very happy

10/10 motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with Dual Thunderbolt
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with Dual Thunderbolt

Pros: Beautiful design. Layout is the best I have ever seen. Good connection options and future proof(thunderbolt). Very good performance, on top of its class. Gigabyte Ultra Durable 5 is making differences in temperatures with my processor. Before this board I owned a Asus p8z77 v deluxe and I don't know why but I never could get my processor stable to 4.6 with reasonable temperatures. I mean even putting the voltage to 1.335vcore I couldn't get my i7 3770k stable at 4.6 GHz. Temperatures goes for my cores to 90 degrees. Now with this motherboard, same processor and same cooler I'm at 4.6 GHz with 1.335vcore and my highest temperature is 78 Celsius! That's a 12 to 13 degrees of difference. In very please with this purchase and I recommend this board to anyone that is looking to overclock and want good temperatures. This board also says it's designed for water cooling and over locking so there's another plus.

Cons: The only con is that the 3d bios don't play nice with my corsair vengeance m60 but it's ok I prefer the keyboard anyways.

Overall Review: If you are looking for a reasonable priced, high performance board with good features this one is a very good option

Everything everything

Fractal Design Define R4 Black Window Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case
Fractal Design Define R4 Black Window Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case

Pros: Wahoo. First, the build quality for a case so cheap is amazing. Second, the appearance of this case is great. Third, how ease is to install all pc components on this case. Four, YOU THE USER HAVE THE CHOICE between super silent pc or...super airflow with...almost no noise. I mean even without the moduvent covers this pc case is very very quiet. Just make sure to install 140 mm fans with good noise levels(I did this with CORSAIR AF140 with the two defaults fractal fans). My pc is very quiet even that I have four fans!!! two exhausting air and two pulling air in plus...the new corsair h60 second generation cpu cooler and my pc is very very quiet. The window side panel lets you show to everyone your rig with style. There is really anything bad to say about this case. Some users will complain about no water cooling but...really with today water coolers(like corsair hydro line of cpu coolers) there is no need anymore to go so extreme for a normal pc. Is the first time that I wrote so much about a computer case. Again WAHOO FRACTAL!!!.

Cons: Anything anything

Overall Review: If you need a mid tower case this is the best available, trust me I know what im talking about.
