I've had my new computer for some months now, but I'm slowly starting to think about changing up some of the components, so I was wondering what your opinions would be on this...
the current build is

Intel Core i7 4770K Boxed
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H
Gainward GeForce GTX 770 2GB Phantom
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST1000DM003
Corsair Carbide 500R Black
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-Bit)
Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH Edition
Kingston HyperX KHX16C10B1RK2/16X
Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE Zwart
Seasonic G-Serie 750Watt
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB

I've been thinking of replacing the Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH Edition for the Corsair Hydro H100i
so for those who already have the Corsair Hydro H100i or had experience with it, how good is it at cooling? did you have any problems with the Hydro before?

I'm also thinking of getting a different case, as this one is a bit too small for all the components, but I haven't found a good replacement. I need a case that's bigger then the Corsair Carbide 500R Black that I have now. does any of you have any good suggestions?

never been a fan of water cooling. Too much potential for major damage if something leaks.

but if your case is too small, try these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811152104 (includes 865w PSU)

well, I was thinking the same about water cooling. but lately I've seen alot of people switching o the hydro series from corsair and heard some pretty good feedback about them
also, thanks for the case suggestions, I'll take a look at them ;)
