yo! water cooling isn't
that bad, jus sayin
🙂 I had never done anything water cooling related before this last build of mine either, but with this Forum you can find a lot of help which makes the process of deciding the components, and pretty much anything to do with completing it... lots of advice here to be shared to get the job done! *cough** KKN and Arne*
From personal experience with both, inside the case with the window on your not going to hear much.. I honestly could hardly hear the pump on the H100i.. my WD black drive was by far the loudest in my system other than the fans (using corsair sp 120 hp pwm's on radiators and corsair af 120 quiet editions throughout the case).. Noctua does and did nearly the same, I think i had a slightly lower full load temp while using the H100i but it was negligible.
GPU's, they will always say they perform better than their competitor, but definitely go where the better warranty is, like I said before either of them are going to run what you want,
PSU, 1000w by all means will not be a bad investment. just choose Gold or Platinum and you should be set for many years..
Dominator platinum's are pretty awesome I wont lie, you do have to look around for the best timings as there are many different models to choose from.. and if your decent at overclocking, manually setting frequency and timings you can come up with some nice numbers, but again you can do that with any memory... and yes they are on the rather bulky side, and with a large CPU cooler size will matter, another reason why I give the H100i an upvote
The Samsung 950 is and should be an amazing drive.. as well as the Intel 750. Either you choose, you wont be disappointed...
🙂900D, is simply, an amazing case. It will and definitely should be the last case you should ever need to buy. even after removing most of the guts it still felt sturdy.. just installing video cards can be a major PITA because of the way they sit back and you get the framing for the window panel.. you shall see when you get yours o_O
