I'm upgrading to a 2600k + asus p8z68-z pro system and trying to figure out the best solution in terms of case and cooling. I'm budget sensitive and I won't be going for max OC. Maybe a moderate OC after the system has been stable for a month or so. So a DIY setup just isn't for me..

That being said, what would you suggest for a cooling option and case?

Currently, I'm looking at the Corsair Carbide 400r case with a Hydro H100 or H80 cooling system using Noctua NF-P12 on the rad to keep the noise down. That h100 is a noisy beast.

But I'm open to new ideas and suggestions in case I'm overlooking a better setup of either an air or a water cooling systems.

Thanks guys!
ps sry if this is in the wrong thread.
 
if your only going for a mild overclock and nothing crazy i'd say go with the H70 or 80 instead. the H100 is good for 4.8Ghz or higher in my opinion but the 70 and 80 can handle 4.8Ghz and lower no problem.

as far as cases go for 60 + 10 dollar MIR like the above poster mentioned the CM 912 is hard to beat.
