I would like some feedback on the parts that I've chosen to my new computer build.
The parts:

Samsung SSD Basic 830-Series 128GB
Intel Core i5 3570K 3,4Ghz (Ivy Bridge)
2x Corsair 8GB CL10 1600MHz VENGEANCE
Corsair Cooling Hydro H60
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2048MB OC
Fractal Design Define R4
Corsair HX 850W 80+ Gold
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H ATX

I went for a 850W PSU because it's more future proof if I want to upgrade the computer later.

I'm thinking about getting a H70 cooler instead as it's cheaper than the H60 and comes with two SP120 Quiet Edition fans, but will it fit my case and such?
The low profile version of my RAM is also a bit cheaper than the regular that I've chosen, is it worth paying 150kr more (about $22) for the non-lp RAM?

The thing I want to know the most is what I need to install in Multibeast for those parts to work without problems? :)
 
You do know you'd be ok with a 400-450 W PSU, right? Not sure "future proof" ever exists in computers. ;)

When it comes to the memory I would say no, unless you plan to seriously overclock it and/or have virtually no airflow across the memory slots. I have the LP version (2x4 GB since 2x8 GB was sold out) combined with a similar water cooler and they are just luke warm.

Yes, the H70 seems to fit the case quite well.

For the Multibeast question, I suggest you look in the build forum, there are several builds with the same motherboard. Lycka till! ;)
