£600 Gaming PC

No I said the low profile RAM is good, since its the height clearance that is always the problem with coolers. Whats the distance between the two side panels?

So the RAM is perfectly fine, and I don't know the distance between the two side panels because I'm at work, by looking at the picture do you think it'll fit?
 
You have to measure it to make sure. I'm not saying either will fit from a picture. If you are right about the sapce for the GPU I don't think the 6950 will fit, unless that cage is removeable.

Seeing as your case has no cable management the modular coolermaster PSU might not be such a bad idea after all ;)

What's the length of the 6950?

If it doesn't fit, which PC case you would recommend me for good air ventilation around £40-50?

Atleast 27cm, so you saying/guessing 26-27 isnt really enough to guarantee it will fit.

The Zalman Z9 is a great budget case (i own one). It was spec'd earlier, currently it's on offer too. £45 is a great price considering you get 4 120mm fans, fan controller, digital temp display, cable management (include P4/8 extension), dust filters......ok it has it's quirks but as you can see there is a lot to like for the price

Oh and it takes upto 290mm GPUs

Is there any other similar cases like Zalman Z9? Because I don't really like the front design, sorry about that

I don't want any LED fans

From the GPU to the HDD bay it's 26-27CM, so low profile RAM will not fit? Should I go for this?

huh?

keep low profile RAM.

The 6950 is 27cm in length.

The cooler is 160mm in height. Rule of thumb is, you have a rear 120mm exhaust fan, it will fit.

If your case is too small, take the retail 3570K or 2500K, invest in a 7850 which is much shorter, and get a cooler later.

Bitfenix Shinobi USB3

I'm not a fan really. The Z9 gives you more for your money, the shinobi has 1 120mm fan and they want you to buy extras to "complete" the case. The Bitfenix outlaw is cheaper but again isnt spec'd as well as the zalman

Is there a way I can disable the LEDs on Zalman Z9 case? Because I can go with the Zalman Z9 case but I don't like LEDs on the fans so I'll have to purchase around 4-5 for the case, so either I could go with Zalman Z9 and buy around 4-5 fans or go for a £70-80 case with no LEDs on fans

I'll go with the Zalman Z9 case, are the fans good and is it enough fans?

Maybe you should put a little more thought into it, instead of rushing it (and everyone else) so much when from your quesitons you clearly don't understand much more than the basics of what you're ordering.

I also notice that not once in the thread havce you thanks anyone for replying or helping you, instead just answering with impersonal replies, or more questions. :)

I have few questions before making the final purchase,

1. The information I have gathered from 2500K and 3570K, correct me if I'm wrong, is that the 3570K uses less power than the 2500K, but 3570K heat is higher than 2500K and 2500K can overclock higher than 3570K and 3570K clock for clock is better than 2500K, for gaming purpose, which one to go for?

2. Will the Sapphire HD 6950 OC (Dual Fan) fans constanly run at 100% load like the HD 6850? Which HD 6950 to go for? Sapphire or Club3D?

3. I've £40 to spend on a good CPU cooler as I want to overclock the CPU, which one to go for?

4. I have got my eyes on the Thermalright HR-02 Macho and Thermalright True Spirit 140 CPU cooler but what's the difference and which one is better? Recommend me one if it's better than these two within my budget

5. What's the perfer overclock GHz speed for normal and gaming use of Intel i5?

6. Will everything fit into the Zalman Z9 case?
