Also due to their size you cannot fit 2 iChill cards on an MATX board, go with a pair of these instead, they'll still get a bit toasty in there but at least they'll fit!

This is where we are at. I hope that this is final. Order is on hold until we have confirmed though.
 
Have had AMD for years. Wanted to give nVidia a go really more than any particular reason. But if that is really the only comment now I think this is it!! Yay. Now for it to arrive Monday as I am away till then.

Can't wait to get building on this.
 
The Seasonic psu is out of stock, so it might delay your order.

Does the H105 definitely fit in the Aerocool ?

Any reason not to go for the latest Devils canyon cpu ? (i7 4790K)
 
It was in stock when I clicked it earlier? Maybe the last one? Maybe gone from all other orders?

It was the only other option that isn't the 860i that would fit anyways so not much choice.

And no idea on the H105. This is experimental.

As for the DC. I have so far had no luck getting anything more out of it compared to the i7 4770k so not going to spend the extra £45 it commands.

What should also be noted is I have 840Pro SSD & Windows 8 at home.

I think the H105 is a risk, id of personally gone for the H100i.

Also I think SLI (especially high end cards) on a mATX board (and in a mATX case) is a big mad. Yes, It can work but temps will be high, noise will be high you may run into overheating issues, especially as the case hasn't go the space for cooler (watercooling) some others (350d) have.
 
Doom,

I have all the worries you do as well with the H105 and SLI in such a case but hey someone has to try it. If it doesn't work then can get a larger case such as 450D and build something else into this case.

Maybe further down line will W/C the GPU's anyways.

Exactly, it can be done but (personally) I wouldn't.

You can upgrade the case but the issue I see is the motherboard, so it won't help that much. As that (any mATX board that supports SLI) has no room between the front of one card and the back of the other the airflow to the top card is low/non-existent.

Most new ATX board have atleast a 1 slot gap between the 2 cards allowing better airflow for SLI/Xfire.

That would solve you're cooling issues, though it will be tricky in that case...

That is fair enough. Just wanted to try something different. See what happens.

Yep, and quite costly.

Getting the correct RAD, Fans, Blocks and Pump/Res will be pretty tight. The main issue is because I just don't have the cash for a 1TB SSD then the caddy for standard HDD will have to stay for now.

The upgrade path was to move onto largeR SSD and shoehorn a rad & pump/res at the front of the case once the HDD caddy is removed.
 
Does it really have to be a small form factor?

Look at the motherboard bundle!!

16GB of RAM, Latest CPU, Free mouse mat, mug, paste and PSU.
 
The spec has changed 3 times since the initial order. I think OcUK would kill me if I changed it all again lol.

That system does look great though.
 
Cheers Stulid.

And so when I ask to get the order changed again for the 4th time in as many hours can I link your post stulid ;)
 
Which post? the epic bundle spec?

Should you not have checked all this and asked the questions before hand:p
 
Haha yes.

In my defense I have never once even noticed the bundle part under CPU. I have just typed in the search the processor I have wanted and gone from there.

I looked in the Motherboard bundle though thinking they would all be there and nothing looked worth it.
 
Its a new bundle today, literally a few minutes old.

Even the monitor is new and has the same Samsung panel, but it also has a wider range of inputs.
