GPU? also I think your mother board is too big. Case looks like it only supports up to ATX size

This Lian Li case supports EATX well according to the technical details it does, Already have PSU (Superflower) Already have GPU and SSDs (Samsung)

I would just double check that, I think those tech specs are for the full range, there are different size versions of the same case

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Lian-Li PC-O7SX ATX Chassis - Black= £394.99
1 x Lian-Li PC-O6SX Micro-ATX Chassis - Black= £319.99
1 x Lian-Li PC-O5SX Mini-ITX Chassis - Black= £299.99

Total: £1,035.79
(includes shipping: £20.82)

Doesn't look like OCUK has the E-ATX version available.

I think this is the one?

I could be wrong, but it seems to say both things.

StarShock · 7 Jan 2017 at 15:42

The more I look the less sure I am.

Edit, yeah, ignore me looking at the lian li page it can fit that motherboard

c0d3 · 7 Jan 2017 at 15:48

Lol I was hoping to order the parts today but now you mentioned it i might need to ask the guys over at OC whether its campatible, might end up going for the ASUS Maximus IX Formula or Gaming 8 from Gigabit.

demonix · 7 Jan 2017 at 16:35

The one that is missing is the PC-05X which is for mini ITX boards.

The motherboard compatibility for the PC-O7SX is ATX, SP-ATX and EATX, and that is taken directly from the lian-li website

Yeah just see that, anyone reckon thats all ok? or are there better and cheaper options available?

Have you looked at the Thermaltake P3 wall mountable case ? Not sure if it is too big for you, but it looks great.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Thermaltake Core P3 Design ATX Wall Mountable Chassis/Showcase - Black= £104.99

Total: £116.69
(includes shipping: £11.70)

I did take a look at the Core P5 Design ATX Wall Mountable Chassis/Showcase - Black Tempered Glass Window, but the depth was mind boggling unless i spend some time customising it then its a option i guess. all depends on time will see how long it takes OC to get me the Lian Li case.

Do you need to spend £500 on a motherboard?

IvanDobskey · 9 Jan 2017 at 10:53

Beat me to it Disco P. £500 on a motherboard is utterly insane. You can get a perfectly good board which will do exactly the same thing for £150.

My Asrock z170 gaming k6 cost me £135 and it's a great board.

Is 128GB M.2 enough ? such high end components with the cheapest m2 drive :confused:

c0d3 · 9 Jan 2017 at 18:29

Heh, You lads are right, I've decided to swap it for the Asus Maximus Formula and I'd have thought 128gb just to run Windows 10 would be enough?! :confused:

Sorry should have added I have 2 x 1tb SSD for downloads etc..

Looking at the same board too... RAM just confusses me... Dual or Quad Channel Ram and which?

HoneyBadger · 2 May 2017 at 17:45

Dual and quad are the same. Dual is one pair of two stick. Quad is two pairs of two.

If the board you have has 4 + slots, get quad else dual.

Ek predator seems expensive based on the failure rate.
