I would make sure the 1.65V RAM is compatible with that CPU.

I dunno if they changed it, but the max voltage RAM for the Intel CPU's IMC was 1.5v

/e Various forums say it's OK. They said 1.5v RAM is recommended, but that 1.65v RAM will work. I guess Intel made some changes. I always vote Corsair Dominator Platinum, for any build.

Only other thing, I would get a WD Black, longer warranty and at least for me, no issues with Blacks.

Might aswell use that one since already have a 1tb black, i think i'll just keep it.
I was thinking about getting a liquid cooling aswell, but have no patience to do the maintenances etc..

According to the manual, it does support 1.65V RAM...It's gonna be an awesome build.

/e You ofc, must come back and post pics when it's done. :)



/ee The H110 should be plenty.

You may be able to order them direct from Corsair. I would check into that.
