Make sure your min/max detail macros include the /console renderscale 1.0 (on main, 0.6 on slaves) setting as I found that made a tremendous difference in the main's performance.

So I'm back. I need to upgrade my CPU. Badly. I'm tired of Dalaran ravaging my PC to the point of screenlocks.
I've done a lot of the macros and graphic changes. And I submit want more eye candy.
Anyway hardware talk time.
I am hastily looking at a new CPU/MOBO/RAM. At this point I don't care if it's AMD or Intel, I just want good performance. If I save money to get relatively close by going AMD, great if not. Go Intel. I don't need to worry about built in wifi. I live to OC a bit, and I am partial to Asus boards. Never really had any issues. I have used a few of the Rog boards in older builds. And RAM was usually Corsair.
From what I've been reading liquid coolers are not all that quiet. (Misinformed in guessing). So I want a great cooler that is quiet and works well enough to keep temps below 60° under load. Do I go with the tried and true Noctua and cooler? Or a custom liquid kit? This is the only part I'm unsure of.
Lastly, I think I need a bigger case. I have the Coolermaster 912 HAF. It's roomy enough. But not for a liquid cooler, if I got that route.
In a sense I am building my PC around my GPU a Titan X.
So what do you think?

RIght - good point. Been busy with work, so currently this is the GPU I have.
PNY Titan X 12 GB
Budget is roughly another $800-$1000 - I will be able to sell my old MOBO/RAM and a couple monitors which should fetch roughly $500. But that'll come after the upgrade.
I do want to upgrade my cooling, as the Antec Kuhler 120 I have is stupidly loud. I am either going with the Noctua NH-D15 - but I am not ruling out a nice liquid cooling system. (I have never used a custom loop, are they hard to install?)
