Definitively a AX 1200, way better CPU I really like it. For the SSD, you better with an Intel 520 ( 5 years warantty ) , If you want WC don't loose your time with the Corsair H80, go directelly with the Ek or koolance block, a good rad , pump and reservoir

here a pic of the Rad and Fan I use in my 800d , keep in mind it's a pic when I build it, some stuff are missing espeically the WC GPU
, I will upgrade all this with the new Maximus V formual , as soon I can get one...

This pic is over 18 months. now the 800d is in my shop , I use it only for download drivers for my customers, but with the new Formula board...thing will change.

this is how it look now, I change the motherboard and the CPU is not WC cooled anymore.



and here in the last day before I made the cleaning and the change

ditch that h80 and make your kit. water cooling isnt a bad idea, but its cost more and takes time to install. It cuts down on the need for 80 case fans blowing 10 tons of dust into your case. A good loop will cool your cpu and gpu. Just look at pics above as to how to run it. as far as RAM, if its for gaming I'd go with a 1600mhz 8gb kit. As long as it has xmp. Dont worry to much about speed or timings. If you plan on overclocking I dont see where you would have to spend more on the extreme just buy the 3630, unless you just have the extra money to waste. Ive never seen a review that anyone justifies the price of the extremes.

ok im waiting the oterboard PSU and case to come ill upload the photos and the progress no the build and i think its better to help me during my try
