You won't need liquid cooling that's for sure. Honestly if you dont plan on OCing anything stock fans and coolers shouldn't be a problem. That is if you don't get w complete and total ****ty case. I am using all stock fans and have no problem with heat.

 

[Vader AL]

and your CPU should have a fan with it and your power supply should have one that pulls some heat out of the case and the graphics cards should have a fan that comes on it too so I'm with Duck, you should be fine.

Pick up some more fans though, they're cheap and fun to put in.

Thanks for the input, peeps. The Coolmaster case that I selected has several fan "slots". So, I guess I'll just purchase a few more fans, then. Just hope the system doesn't sound line a vacuum cleaner .

If you haven't ordered a case yet you can always look into this onehttps://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153 really quiet and allows up to 5 fans. I ordered this one and I love it! Not the most high tech case, but a great one none the less

That looks awesome, Duck! I like how it comes with 3 pre-installed fans. But, it's too bad that I already bought a Cooler Master case from Tiger Direct, that only comes with one fan. It looks like I'll be buying the extra ones . Here's the case:

I bought blue LED fans because I'm awesome that way.

Since we're talking about cases and cooling and fans and builds, I thought I would share my build back in 2011. Still going strong today!
Maybe I posted this video long ago, but can't recall so here it is anyway:

Maybe give some people some ideas on cases, parts and cooling.

Friend request sent... my SN is the same on steam as well.

I have a Cooler Master Elite 310... totally regret buying it, lol!
I bought two Corsair cases, plan to move my current hardware over to the C70 and then use a white 600T for an entire new build.

Take a look at what's the top selling graphics card on Tiger Direct - you'll have to scroll down a bit to see the list. My god....

big money. no one who has purchased it has written a review yet on that site.

What about these two...crazy prices:

https://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7462665&csid=_61

or this one (the review comments on this one are funny):

That's what I find strange. Tiger might be "fixing" that list to promote the Titan.

Edit: lol @ the reviews. But seriously... anyone who'd be able to afford one of those cards (let alone, three of them for SLI) probably drives a Lamborghini to work, and flies a private jet to Madrid on the weekends, while his butler serves him Great Poupon on the most expensive English ham.

i usually go for at least 3 120mm fans for air circulation.
GPU has it's base fan and I usually put a heatsink on the CPU with optional fan on top.

built my PC in 2008 and no issues.

 

[Solidus]

On second thought, brb guys. I'm selling out my entire Hot Toys collection and all the nice things I bought for my girlfriend, for a Quatro 6000. I'll post in-hand pics when I get it.

Quadro 6000 sucks

--No seriously, it's a workstation card, what it's supposed to be for is for improving performance in CAD programs like Maya or 3ds Max, they don't really improve it much though, certainly not enough to justify the thousands of dollars you'd pay over a gaming card. And they also suck at games.

And here's the worst part---in some cases, they would build graphics card, and take the best that came out and sell them as Quadro's with the Quadro firmware. And then take the others, take off some of the hardware to dumb them down and then sell them as gaming cards.

Didn't know that...that's messed up.

 

[Solidus]

Yeah, that sucks . I'm still wondering about the "Top Selling" cards from Tiger Direct. Something doesn't look right about their list.

 

[darthviper107]

Didn't know that...that's messed up.

In some cases they just changed the firmware, so there were certain gaming cards that people would mod to become Quadro's

Ok so I'm going to switch to a mechanical switch keyboard....which cherry should I get? Any thoughts? I was thinking brown or red but not sure.

I use a cherry red Corsair K60. Good keyboard for a good price.
