Setting Up Mid-Hi Gaming Desktop

The amount of Ram must be calculated by what the system will be used for, if one is going to do video rendering or memory intensive tasks or just playing games every so often for example.

About the CPU cooler, if you're not planning on overclocking the system then the stock cooler will do just fine for now.
An after-market cooler is something one would change down the line when they want to play around by overclocking the computer.

I got the crossair h100 and it's LOUD AS FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK so make a smart choice and get a good cpu cooler

Corsair hydro series or air series.I know hydro series would be perfect if i over clocked the cpu.Along with series question i would like to ask if over clocking is a good thing to do with your cpu?

When ever is putting an electronic device under strain would it be good? Sure you may get some more performance if you overclock the CPU but it's minimal and unnecessary especially if you are looking at the 4770k.

If over clocking gpu?

[Devin]

No major gains so why put the device under more stress?

hydro, the thing is that they say the pump isn't loud, bullcrap, when you start bf4 it goes insane you can hear the water flow.. and don't get me started on the fans on the cooling mechanism.. like I said.. helicopter status..  buy an air one

Understood...Helicopter in bound,over .Alright now i want to know about motherboards which are the best in gaming.Well i love asus maximus VI series but which one? Hero? Gene? Or ultimate?.

AMD is made for gaming, it has way faster graphics cards, but Nvidia is made for general PCs because it has really quick rendering and everything, I am an AMD fanboy...

That is by no means true. Each card that each company makes is different, and is aimed at a different market. You also admitted that you chose one over the other because of your company preference. If you wish to help users find a product, please make sure that your opinion is unbiased, unless you say "I prefer this because...", or something similar. We don't want people misled when seeking help purely because we prefer one thing over another.

You may get better performance from it, but you will shorten its lifespan by doing so. You can counter this by using higher-end liquid cooling to prevent the CPU from overheating more, but the lifespan will still not be that of a standard-clocking CPU.

Understood,overclocking a bad thing.Still looking for MB answer
