If you want my opinions:


1. Dont like lower end watercooling on such a large chip like the 3930k, just a personal opinion
2. Get a 4gb Gtx 770, its both cheaper and more effective than the 680 you have, will explain now:

The Gtx 680 and the HD 7970 were the previous top 2 cards offered by both competitors, the key difference was that nvidia cards happen do do well with shading and radeon cards happen to do well under memory stress due to larger vram, and a better memory bus(312(?) vs 256 on the 680) because of that, the 680 was starved out of performance in games where heavy anti aliasing(Crysis 1, Metro 2033) or resolutions past 1080(where radeon cards scaled linearly on performance drop and nvidia cards exponentially dropped after 108)

what the 770 brings is a more aggressive self overclocking mechanism(GPU boost 2.0), and better quality vram for higher memory clocks, so that it takes less of a hit in heavy situations mentioned above. actual chip wise, the 770 is exactly the same as a 680, but at a lower cost.

3. I was never a fan of the pricing on Corsairs upper end cases. I dont like the fact that the 600T is not very water cooling friendly, and hovers around the spot where major case designers do well in.

you will have the upcoming Fractal Arc XL, which arguably will be one of the friendliest cases to work with(off set fan holes at top for water cooling, fan filters almost everywhere and easy to remove) for ~130

then you have the slightly more expensive NZXT Switch 810 which is proabbly the WC case choice both options are Fulltower, compared to Corsair's Mid tower offering at this price

Though thats just an opinion and the 600t is still usable, I personally just dont like it for the price.(also if you decide to get an E-ATX sized motherboard for your 3930k, the 600t doesn't support it)




1 and 3 are just opinions, I really suggest the change in #2 though

Thank you very much.
1. I got the cooler since someone on r/ suggested I'd be fine with a cheap cooler, since I don't plan on OCing. What cooler would you suggest instead?
2. Will definitely change this, thanks!
3. What can I say, i absolutely fell in love with how the Corsair case looks, and even though the cases you suggest are better, I'm gonna be dumb about this and keep the Corsair. It does fit the current motherboard i picked, right? And since I don't need water cooling (i think) for now, I guess it would be acceptable?

EDIT: Also the options I have for cards are these, I'm not sure which I should go for:
