I would like a different recommendation for the cooler, and will my current 850 watt PS be enough, suggestion for a 10GB video card, 64GB of RAM, and this MB has heat shields for the M.2 right? I've got an Antec chrome mid-case(ATX) that I think will work.

This is a great service and I really appreciate it. Once it gets firmed I'll purchase through your site.
Thank you,
Ron

Hi Ron,

The only comparable Cooler that comes to mind for your MB is the Noctua NH-D15, which is higly regarded and probably worth the extra in the detals - but the Black Rock is very good value.

Thanks for the response. I like the Noctura and have used their fans in the past.

If you are still uncertain, perhaps this article might help. Tom's Hardware is pretty reliable. Always when deciding on a cooler, pay close attention to the dimentions, both for what your Case will accomodate and clearence for your RAM Modules.
