    Question New build / upgrade...

    Hey folks, still clinging onto S775 so think it's high time / an excuse to go shopping. I'm looking at...

    Silverstone TJ08-E
    Intel Core i5 3570K
    Asus Maximus V Gene (overkill?)
    8GB G-Skill RipjawsX 2133MHz
    Corsair Hydro H60 '2013 edition' or Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or ... ? (space is at a premium)

    And from my current system...

    2GB Asus HD6950 (worth replacing the stock cooler?)
    120GB OCZ Vertex 2E / 2 x 500GB Samsung F3
    620W Corsair HX

    I guess my most undecided area is the CPU cooler but all recommendations are very welcome. Really trying to make this thing as quiet as possible, my current system's a noisy get. Cheers all!

    I would only change 6950 cooler if it's loud although not sure on the cigs involved

    I have the Hyper 212 evo and with the AMD Cool N Quiet enabled fan only spins at 1000 RPM so pretty much unnoticeable

    Wait until Haswell is out if you are spending a decent amount of money.

    Good point actually, in that case I might try and get hold of an mATX S775 board to tide me over. To the wanted section!
