Sweet.
The cooler is large, just hope it doesnt interfere with the slot for the gfx card.

Ah, can you suggest a better one? The Ben Nevis one you originally linked isn't in stock sadly and I was hoping to order tonight!
Caporegime
It might fit, depends how close the slot is
This is on a Z77-UD5
if the slot on the msi board is in the same place as the 1x slot you see above you might be in trouble

How about changing case? to one which isnt limited to short coolers.

The 1500x and 1600x hardly have anything in it from gaming benchmarks I've seen and the 1500x can reach the same 4ghz pretty much while saving you £80 in the process so you might as well get the 1500x.
I'll look into different cases but I really like the look of the Corsair one as
I'll do this
Caporegime
They just aren't as aesthetic as the Corsair one is! The Styx is nice but the Corsair still looks better imo.
Caporegime
Ohhh that one is nice as well.
Do you have something against the Corsair case, is there something wrong with it?
Caporegime
No, its just that it cant take tall air coolers leaving you with less options.

That with the am4 bracket will fit the node.

After all that, going to be a massive pain in the ass now and say I can't figure out which case this one in this video is
OcUK seem to do a cheaper version but its not as shiny or nice? Or am I wrong and that is the version in the video with the lovely tempered glass?

TG = tempered glass.

Excellent, thank you. I assume with this case I can have any CPU fan I want? The water cooled ones with the swishy lights look amazing but its a lot for £120 when I wont ever be overclocking.

yep any cooler as it takes like 190mm ones.
