QUOTE(Human10 @ Jun 20 2015, 01:34 PM) It's a case, so if you hadn't have your own case, yes it is necessary (unless you plan to use your PC naked lying outside). table casing any thermal cooler recommendations? this rig is going to be used for heavy gaming. also thinking of changing the GPU to gigabyte instead of zotac

QUOTE(Human10 @ Jun 20 2015, 01:49 PM) CPU cooler? Since the CPU is locked and you can't OC on it, just find whatever aftermart cooler under RM150 and have the design which suit your taste and fit in your case. For case fans, just grab some cooler master jetflo. I personally is a cheapskate which prioritize performance and value over aesthetic, so you will see me importing generic OEM fans from taobao instead of getting normal fans out there in the market. http://s.taobao.com/search?q=12025+pwm&img...0150620&ie=utf8As for the GPU, do note that Gigabyte's 970 priced at about RM1.6k, but if you have the money to spend, we won't stop you. But again, at 1.6k, I will rather wait for AMD's R9 390 which should offer better performance, 5.5GB more VRAM but still cost lower/about the same. thanks for your input bro. got my rig today but unfortunately they did not have zotac gtx970. bought the gigabyte 960 instead
