Hey,

I am needing help with the rest of my build. I have $1400 to spend on the following, RAM, CPU Cooler, CPU, Motherboard, and Video Card/s. I am hoping to go the intel route as far a CPU's and it doesn't matter for me between ATI or Nvidia. For CPU Cooler I have been looking at the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme with a Noctua NF-P12-1300 120MM Ultra Quiet Cooling Fan but was hoping to get some feedback on it. I realize the new cards are coming out, so I am willing to wait for that if necessary. This will be a gaming computer.

Thanks
 
The Noctua fan there is widely considered to be the best silent 120mm fan there is. The Thermalright Ultra 120 is considered to be one of the best air cooler solution. Thus, having two of them together would yield incredible temperatures and silence.

edit: yay 6000th post! I get a new LED :).
 
Awesome. So I guess I will go with that cooler.

So do you happen to know a good setup for the rest of my build with my budget. I would like to have the option of SLI or Crossfire but if there a board that is very good and doesn't have it thats fine.

Here is my setup so far:

Case: Thermaltake Armor
Power Supply: PC Power and Cooling 750w
Optical Drive: Lite On Writer
HDD: 2x 250GB WD 7,200RPM in RAID 0
CPU Heatsink: Thermalright TRUE
CPU: ? (I assume E8400 though because I want gaming)
Motherboard: ? (I have no clue on this one)
RAM: ? (I assume 4GB of G-Skill or Muskin)
Video Card: ? (No clue on which to get)

The ones with question marks are the ones I am needing to know what to go for my build. Since the CPU Heatsink will be around $100 shipped with the fan included in the cost. I know have $1300 to spend on the RAM, CPU, Motherboard, and Video Card.

Thanks
