I am looking to building a new PC and I would like some help on my purchase before I buy. This is my build, so far:
AMD FX-8150 3.6GHz
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX
SAMSUNG 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
CORSAIR H80 (CWCH80) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
XFX 7970 Double Dissipation
My questions/concerns are:
Has anyone had any bad experiences with the H80 (NEVER used water cooling ever, a bit paranoid), also what kind of OCs can I get on 8150. I hear that the samsung ram OCs well up to 2133. Also I am looking into getting a 64GB SSD just for my OS, I would like suggestions on one, but also I was wondering is it really worth it for a PC that is rarely if every going to be shut off since I can really only fit the OS on there as a lot of games are rather large, so I plan on using a mechanical HD for that. I am also looking at this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811352013 and wondering what people's opinion on it.
Thanks in advance
