Going to see how the noise level is with the stock fans - i'm suspecting it will be louder than I want, but I don't think they should ramp up too high in RPM that often, given I've got some serious cooling going on. If it does get too loud or hotter than I think it will, I'll switch out with some Noctua fans.

I wanted to go with the Kraken x62 as was recommended, but NewEgg was out of stock, Amazon didn't carry it and I was too impatient to wait. The only real difference is the fans/noise anyways.

Khanable - I took your advice and went with the NZXT Grid+ for fan control as opposed to the shit I had originally picked out. I'll let you know how I like it.

Split some of the purchases between NewEgg and Amazon (Prime), everything should be in around Tuesday of next week - probably won't start the build until that weekend.
