    I think 8GB in a w7 X64 system is the "sweet spot" unless one runs several virtual machines, uses AutoCAD ro something like that. I have 16GB and rarely see more than 4-5GB in use.

    Im sticking to that CPU that I have. Do you guys have any suggestion for motherboard?
    Hope this isn't too late.

    Asus Maximus VI Hero. You can get it for a good price -sometimes lower than the Asus Z80 pro - especially in a bundle. I like that I can control 3 case fans and a CPU fan independently. Nice features and bundled software as well.

    Is water cooling worth it to buy?
    If you plan to overclock any significant amount with a Haswell, yes - a closed loop even like the Swiftech H220.

    Oops, I see I am a bit too late. What you bought should serve you well!

    By "CPU cooling fan", do you mean a complete cooler?

    As for closed-loop water coolers:
