Hello all,
I'm planning to build a new system this winter. I mainly will use this PC to play Flight Simulator X (my favorite hobby) and also some other games. Eventually, I may end up putting a 4 TB HDD in so it can double as my Media Center, as well.
I've compiled a parts list and had it vetted a few times on the different Flight Sim forums. However, I'm still on the fence about which CPU Cooler to use. The Corsair H100i came highly recommended, but others have warned about using water-cooled units and suggested that there were air coolers that were quieter and more efficient (i.e. NH-D14). Because I've never installed a water-cooling unit before I've been a bit hesitant and would really appreciate anyone's feedback and suggestions.
The parts list can be found here: GLaDOS - Saved Part Lists - PCPartPicker
I'm also certainly open to suggestions or feedback on any of the other components as well. As always, I greatly appreciate everyone's help!
