I disagree about the cooler. There's no way you could get me to build a 4770k rig with a GPU throwing off that much heat without a liquid cooler, it just doesn't make sense. Plus, some 240mm coolers like that are cheaper than high-end air solutions. The H105 would be my personal choice but the 100i is basically the same. Also I disagree about the OC, the new Intel CPUs are very easy to OC. No reason why anyone couldn't learn how to get one to 4.5ghz at all. That case is what I would consider an *excellent* case with great airflow and plenty of fan filters. Only thing I would change is the HDD, WD greens haven't been as reliable historically as WD Blacks, which have a 5-year warranty to boot. I'd give em some thought even though they're much more expensive. All in all, looks like a great rig Kieran, have fun with it and if you need any help let us know. -NR
