Hi ryan..... I'll show you two builds, the first on water cooling which your other thread suggested and the second a air cooled rig. Both have the same performance.
Config # 784590 Cost $ 4596 Config # 784584 Cost $ 3622 I can't cut/paste right now but later I can do more.

Not all air cooling is created equal (same with LC, or anything really )However, the Noctua NH-D14 is not just good, its awesome. |

The HAF X case is the best case for air cooling. Check out this video DS put togther for their Dreadnought series of computers that features the HAF X case.

We suggested builds with air cooling because you had indicated you liked the idea.... Personally I'd say stick with the Hailstorm build with whatever Stage LCS you prefer... If you pick GPU carefully for good air cooling and mount the window fan mod you wouldn't need to use the more extensive dual loop on GPU's.
