Could argue that If you got a Sniper M5 you dont need a sound card.

infernox · 24 Apr 2014 at 13:38

M5 Looks good, might have to get that, How well would crossfire work on that board?

stulid · 24 Apr 2014 at 13:41

8X/8X so as good as a normal full size board that does 8X/8X, also you use the two green slots furthest apart to give a little extra room between cards. But that does mean the case will need an additional expansion slot beneath the board if using a dual slot thick GFX card.

What cooler would you recommend, stay with stock until I get water or?

stulid · 24 Apr 2014 at 13:49

If you use tall RAM then water cooling is best as you are guaranteed to clear the tall heatspreaders.

infernox · 24 Apr 2014 at 14:02

Its Ballstix Tracer so not tall heatspreaders. Should I just use stock until water then?

stulid · 24 Apr 2014 at 14:07

Yeah.

But remember what I said about your SATAII SSD and these chipsets, I think you will find it doesnt work.

infernox · 24 Apr 2014 at 14:13

Yeah just looked, Sandforce 1200 chipset. Samsung EVO still the best bet?

Makes life a little easier and all for a tenner. Or you can fiddle about using paper clips.

lee32uk · 25 Apr 2014 at 15:53

Build logs are always good, especially when it is in a nice Case such as the Parvum
