New Build. Advice please :)

[Doomedspeed]

No it is`nt, mine is better than yours.

Na - Ah!!!

 

[Potty27]

Im not sure that cooler fit that case..

That case is 200mm wide, so it ought to fit.

 

[Potty27]

I read this "Dimension: Length 155mm x Width 53mm x Height 170mm" and thought it said the height was 155mm... doh!

You may well be right.

 

[Doomedspeed]

That case is 200mm wide, so it ought to fit.

That does include the motherboard tray thickness and cable tidy space too..

My case is 210mm wide and only has 165mm cooler clearance..

EDIT: well found..

To be on the safe side change the cooler in my spec (if you go with it) to this:

That will fit (just) but it is cutting it:

The case's cooler clearence is 160mm:

I think there's sometimes a little bit of room extra than they say. Like in my case I'm technically 2mm or something over the maximum height, but it fits without any issue. I was reading in another forum something similar for a Corsair 200R and a cooler that shouldn't technically fit.

Thanks for all the input guys, I've actually consulted a very reliable and senior member of another forum, he suggested the attached build.

What do you guys think?

Youre going have to remove the prices mate.. Most people will know where that's from..

Did you notice theres no HDD, SSD or OD?

Thats another £120...

Though the 7970 is better than the 7870, im pretty sure the 6300 will bottleneck the 7970 at some point..

the 8320 is well worth the money in this situation, paired with a 7870LE and a decent overclock (on each) it'll be better than that rig.. IMO

 

[Potty27]

Agree with most you've said Doom, though if he wants a card nearer the 7970 mark that 670 OC is a great buy in my opinion.

Gives free P&P, so you can minus £12.50 off the price, that makes the 670 OC £177.45, as the OP would not otherwise get free P&P.

 

[teppic]

I see the Asus 670 went back into stock They must have sold tons of these things, it went from 100 to 0 over the day, then 20 to 0, now at 33.

 

[Potty27]

Seems one of the better deals at the moment.
