ive been tempted by that R9 280X but my original concerns were my Antec 900 case im just concerned about the space and if everything will fit , its an old case but i like it and would rather not spend more money on another one ..... if it would fit though i think i could wait until i have more funds and get the r9 280x .

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a card that won't fit in there!
 
Hi,

This will probably get revived over the next few months as I decided to wait for the new boards and cpu's I'm tempted to go with:-

Sapphire Radeon R9 290X Tri-X 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11226-03-40G)
Gigabyte Z97X-SOC Force Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard **Overclockers UK Exclusive**

Total : £564.54

Can anyone give me any ideas on memory I'm going with a black and orange theme so keeping that in mind what do you suggest ? I read a great review on the gfx card that stulid done but I might go for a cheaper gfx in the end

Hi all,

after the above posts here is what i went with , i have hit a slight problem but not a huge one as mentioned in above posts im using my trusty Corsair HX 620 psu (cmpsu-620hxuk) but i have misplaced most of the cables ive just been putting bits together and got to fitting my gfx card and realised i don't have a 8 pin PCIe cable so im now stuck. with the 290x you have to fit a 4 pin and a 8 pin . im now thinking of just buying a new set of psu cables maybe red braided can anyone give me any recommendations?

thanks
 
Those are for extensions for your original cables and will not fit into the PSU its self, you might need to speak to Corsair support.
 
They don't have direct UK support, but raising a ticket through there website should get the ball rolling, I know in the past people have had cables sent.
