Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (RR-212E-20PK-R1)
Reviewed by AlDyer

All in all great cooler for the money and has always worked reliably. Excellent for a backup cooling system or for low-cost budget computers, while still being able to overclock.

Hey guys,

Just want your input on this build. I left out the GPU as I already purchased it (Galaxy GTX 670).
Any input is appreciated!

I couldn't find this on NCIX but http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147094 this Samsung ram has been recommended to me by numerous people. I am told that the modules are great overclockers.

There is not a problem with heat on these modules as the reviews show. They easily overclocked with a touch more voltage and the timings can be easily changed with no ill effects. They also sit really low, almost beneath the motherboard latch so you know that they will not interfere with an aftermarket heatsink.
