..Well considering he won't be doing any overclocking what so ever due to not having a P67/Z68/Z77 board, having an after-marketing cooler, especially one that is very expensive like the h100 isn't the best investment. I would of spent less on aesthetics and the peripherals and more on performance and eye candy like a higher end 23'' LG IPS for example.

I've been drooling over these lately.

But it's a glossy panel, which is a dealbreaker.

Isn't glossy panels a selling point? I mean, who doesn't like to see their finger prints and a ton of dust on the side of their panels?

$350 is quite a bit for just a monitor and can grab you a UT2412M or a Crossover monitor which has a 2500 x 1600 resolution for so cheap, but it is made in Japan and is glossy as well.

There are plenty of cheap uber-high-res monitors out there, and I want them all.

r00t_b33r wrote I would've gotten a better PSU.

Over-priced and under-performing water cooler, and your setup didn't necessitate it. Should've gone with a Hyper 212 or an NH-D14.

H61 motherboard with a K CPU? Why? And in a mid-tower case?

Overpriced garbage rubber-dome keyboard.

17.5 inch monitor? Your priorities are all out of whack.


I am Overclocking and gaming on this i know somethings i could have done better on this cost me 900 dollars and i have to pay it back and thats gonna take a while when i can i am upgrading so calm down and this is also my first build.

With an H61 board? No, you're really not. This could be your first build or your 100th build, there is no one stopping you from posting a topic asking for advice and parts that are ideal rather than an h100 that's practically useless and a small monitor.

I'm always calmed down. I have a hard time being rustled on the internet.

Also, I just saw Generation's post and he pretty much nailed it.
