Another New Build by Fuzzykins

I would get another PSU (fuck the combo :P) and id pick a cheaper CPU cooler, and use that money to get a proper atx mobo

The difference between an ATX motherboard and an mATX motherboard is the form factor on lower end boards. When you get to mATX higher end boards, you begin to loose features, but on something such as a P8P67, I'm not losing anything but some spaced out components.

The PSU isn't awful. I realize I'm not exactly getting what I'm paying for, but I'm satisfied with what I'm getting, as I'm not putting anything heavy in it. As far as CPU cooler, I'd like to bump the clock up on this a little, because it'd be nice to let this fold while I'm not using it. x3

Alright. As long as you are okay with it. It wouldn't work for me, though. I'd always know it was there.

That's why I'm trying to replace my TX650w with a X-series from Seasonic, the best PSUs I've found to date (and the ones who don't meet their standards, Corsair sells as AX750 and AX850. Whom are the two best PSUs Corsair sell! That means Seasonic are picky x) )

Looks good keep it like you have. Keep the nh-d14 cooler stuff=longer lifetime. Don't forget to buy 4 fans for the 600 t white . Those 4 things cool the Gpu like hell I almost don't hear my gpu fan anymore.

I think the closer components results in slightly more EM interference and power noise on an mATX board, but probably not enough to matter.

Also, I'm pricing parts to fix my workstation at the office... pairing a 2500K with a P8P67 LE seems to be the most reasonable. I could get it cheaper with a P67A-G43 but.... no. Not buying another MSI board. Again. Rofl. They had their second chance.

I thought it was ASUS you didn't like as Motherboards? I swear, keeping track of your preferences is almost as difficult as it is to keep track of mine.

Its just my preference to get an ATX board, if the case has the room. Also you could just aswell get a scythe mugen 2 rev B, it's 50 bucks cheaper. And i think it will do they job just as good (or good enough) and with that 50 bucks you can get an higher end mobo.

NH-D14 or DIEEEEE!

UGHHHHHHHHH Noctua chooses the ugliest color scheme for their fans Q.Q

Shut up. I love them. They look awesome.

I'd love it if they were as good at moving air and as silent as the Gentle Typhoons. If they were as inexpensive as well, it'd be even better.

Heh, same mobo, cpu, and cpu heatsink

I had this run in - the NH-D14 recently had a price bump of about 15 bucks.
If you don't mind ordering it from Amazon, you can call them, complain, and they'll generally give you credit enough for it to be the older price.
I actually had a 25 dollar credit applied to my account, giving me even more savings.

May not work for everyone, but it's 15 bucks. I'm cheap like that.
