Upgrade advice

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hey guys,
I am working out all the things to replace in my big uprgade, I'm adding RAM going from 6GB to 12GB, soundcard, speakers, cooler, GPU. I have just done some reading about video card sizes and the eVGA GTX580SC that I want turns out is alot bigger than my current 460 which causes problems for me because my case isn't very big and that coupled with the concern I had over getting a noctura d14 I have decided I am getting a new case, and there is only one case worth getting so I will be getting the 800D, now seeing as I will have a huge case with plenty of space and one that is set up for water cooling, I am thinking I will just get a water kit instead of the big D14 (I had originally wanted water but this case isnt set up for it) so what I can't decide is, what cooler do I get? the H60, H80 or H100, I was thinking the H100 because 100 is bigger than 60 or 80 and because it costs a bit more but I would like you guys to confirm that I have it right.

If you are willing to put the extra money into it, definitely get the H100. The 800D will have no issues whatsoever fitting that thing in. Just mount the rad on the top. It's definitely one of the highest performing closed loop watercoolers right now.

Excellent, That is what I was hoping to hear! There is no debate then smile.gif

If you're thinking about watercooling, look into an XSPC RASA kit. They're not much more expensive than an H100 and can be a stepping stone for if, and when, you decide to watercool your GPU as well. wink.gif
