	Hi mlamanna... Welcome to the forums. That's a real nice build. Just for another way to go , here's a build with a quad channel memory mobo as opposed to the Z77's dual channel memory. The quad channel's larger memory bandwidth might help with your video editing if you get into it with any degree, plus already has the 16gb ram. Also the Noctua d14 air cooler will perform great and quieter than the Vortex 120 and the big block of cooling fins leave little to go wrong. The Vortex units are smaller, have a real good reputation, but I like reliability and quiet if possible without sacrificing perfromance.

	BP has a good build for you. I like the haf x better, its gonna be more quiet and I like big fans over smaller ones cause they are more quiet and move more air, but the 500r is a good case too, depending on its fans tho it could be loud.

	Look really good but you left out the 2 most important parts. Your Free Game and your free T-Shirt.

	Is the Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 really that much better than the DS vortex liquid cooler? I think I am going with the #790584 build, just don't know about the cooler yet Edited by mlamanna - 21 Feb 2013 at 7:58pm
