Here is my build, as you can see I don't have an aftermarket CPU cooler yet. Due to some budget constraints I had to cut it out at the last second, and I'm looking for a few different things. First up, some new case fans. My motherboard only has connectors for 2 fans, and from some advice I got from a friend was to get a "3 pin to molex connector", but I've no idea if I'm about to order the correct one.
(My case already has 2 fans, an intake at the front an an exhaust at the back)
When it comes to the case fans, I really don't care about sound. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007RESFVI/?tag=pcp0f-21 here is what I had in mind, I planned on getting 2 of them, and having an extra intake at the front, and an extra exhaust at the top. I don't mind buying a few more if it means better cooling.
For the CPU cooler, once again I don't care about how loud it will be, I was thinking about the hyper 212 evo, but I'm not sure. My overall budget is around £50-75.
And a thanks, I made this account a long time ago and the positive response from everyone here was great, the same with the tek syndicate channel. It drove me to build the system I have now and it is amazing. I went from playing only 2-3 AAA titles to playing a wide range of games, for the past few weeks I've only been playing Fallout 1-2, and TF2. There are so many games I'm catching up on.
