open to the idea but on AIR cooling. if possible.

P.S. main concern being the thermal output in both CPUs, i live on the top floor, rooms tends to heat up a lot, 1 ton AC does the job but wouldnt really like to run it all day long for the sake of PC heating. the current setup too gives a whining noise of the default AMD HSF so i replaced it with CM Hyper212+ push pull . if the same occurs on the new build might have to consider a HSF for the same.

please advice as i am looking to buy the components this week itself.
 
Think twice before u buy MSI. Prime sales rep told me that they are pulling out of India. Both the new thermal solutions are good. I had a 1055t before and i know the whining sound . I had it too.
