discussion $5400 System Build - Need Some Ideas

[SIMPLYTECHNICAL]

dont get the Thermal Solution RTS2011LC for 110, you can get a corsair h100 for the same price, but I would recommend a high end air cooler instead because I believe the self contrained watercoolers are too expensive for what you get, but if you must get one then get the h100

Yeah, I love the H100 from the reviews I've been seeing but Intel has already provided the cooling solution as part of the prize. The retail value isn't actually accurate, but that's what they're saying its worth to the IRS when they deduct it from their taxes because that's what it was when it was originally released.

Nothing wrong with the intel solution, so even though we all know you're sticking with it, don't worry about the comments that say "product B is better."

Also, looks like newegg prices aren't in line with the prices I've been seeing on other e-tailer sites for HDDs, so ignore my comment about HDDs other than the suggestion to look into the 3TB drives as some of those have some very very good reviews.

how about a 7970 or 7850 2-way crossfire

Bang for bucks: 7870 in crossfire. Or, gtx 680 in sli.

690 sli would be the best bet for gpu
