to build or to buy bundle?

[ati87]

ye i plan on doing it this way ( buying all at the same time, just will take me 4-5-6 weeks to get the money) since prices may go down by the time i have all the money, ye i will try windows 8, you say i can install it a certain way to have the classsic look?

Its called classic shell, a free program which kind of blocks Metro and brings back the old start menu.

hi guys ive started ordering my parts for this build
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1sgIW
just something jumped into my head whilst watching the newegg video on first builds, do i need to buy thermal paste/compound for my cpu cooler, if so what kind would anyone recommend also are there any other small things that i need to buy?.

Looks good! And no, you don't need to buy extra thermal paste, it's included with the H100i.

You might want to exchange the fans of the cooler later on if they are too loud for you, but try out the standard ones first.

One of these packs will be perfect for the H100i.

I have one of these Corsair SP120s on my CPU cooler (CM Hyper 212+) and it's fantastic. They're very quiet, as advertised, and the airflow is plenty good enough.

Do note that if you intend to use the h100i's corsair link software for fan control then you will need to get a pair of PWM versions of the fans as the software cannot control the standard 3 pin models and will run them at max rpm.

The quiet edition sp120's you linked earlier also come in pwm versions.

It's exactly the same product except that it's 4- instead of 3-pin. 3pin fans get controlled via voltage, 4pin ones always get 12v but are being told how fast to spin via the 4th pin. Chances are that your mainboard can control both sorts, cba to look it up.

You can get 3pin fans as well, the asus motherboard has 3pin fan control. Get whichever is the cheapest.
