The GTX750Ti might look a strange choice in this configuration but I only game occasionally, main goal of this rig is to get the FX stable @ 4,5-4,7Ghz. The only part that is not certain yet is the cpu cooling..the Corsair H100i would perform a few degrees better but I'm not sure if it is a reliable cooling solution..what's your opinion.. custom build liquid cooling is out of my budget.
Maybe you have some good air cooling alternatives for the Noctua
I might get a better GPU in the future so that's why I decided to go for a 550W psu
Please let me know which improvements can be made to this setup
