What?!? lol

Then, imo, you would be better off with a 4790k and a Z97 board and you can use the money saved and get a bigger & better SSD and more HDD space

If you were to use it as a professional-work rig I wouldn't disagree, but for a primarily gaming rig that is alot of money thrown down for arguably worse gaming(CPU-wise) performance. The 4790k is a nice balance between gaming(good clock speeds & unlocked) and professional(hyperthreading + bit more l3 cache) for people who want a gaming rig that can also work well at video editing and the likes. Plus there is the extra cost of the motherboard and the memory(both are a good 50-100% more than the ones available to the 4790k) to take into account.

i am not fimiliar with water cooling but it will offer more room in the system but d you know if corsair will replace your parts if the water cooler leaks? cause i want an h70

[tielknight]

If it leaks due to a problem(mis-aligned tubes, cracks, etc) with the cooler yes, they will replace anything that is damaged by the leak.

That said, the H100i is a good LC setup and is usually mounted to the top of the case.

alright thats freaking awesome! now since i only going to have 1 gpu the gtx 980 i would only need about a 750w psu right? and if so would a regular old 80 plus bronze be good?

[tielknight]

A decent 550W will handle most GPUs out there, something like this Rosewill Hive would do the job.
