    I wouldn't have said it's any better than the Nox one you're looking at. The NXZT range seems very good value for money.
    Indeed, but I'm currently looking at multiple choices - the Cooltek K3 Evolution is different, but not in a lot of ways, someone actually says it's better - but I'm a bit too lazy to research, plus the K3 seems to be cheaper.
    EDIT: Maybe you could PM me your Windows Live address or an address from any Instant Messaging service used by you, in case you do use one? You don't need to if you intend to be as 'anonymous' as possible :P

    TheBetaFox,
    Yes the AMD stock cooler is engineered to do a very respectable job. Any cooler will require maintenance to keep if purring along, clean it and the case interior along with the other fans at least twice a year and more often if you have dust, pets or case on carpet issues. I'll say it again as well the PSU is the heart of your system and the quality of these units vary wildly. Stick with name brands that have a reputation for reliability and do please consider up sizing this area as you will get the bug and upgrade items, ram, drives, fans, coolers, and the big one is a quality GPU which draws a huge bit of energy off the secondary rail. My advice may seem like over kill but many here will agree tons of issues here get traced back to the lack of proper power supply sizing and quality.
    Cheers and good luck you will love being challenged with the build and making it your build. Please take pictures and post all during it's build and when done !

    Thank you for the advice, sir.
    Of course, I will share information and pictures of the build, but when I will buy it, that is :) I'm kinda short of money at the moment.. Oh sweet financial crisis </sarcasm>.
