5.25" bay for the case & side fan mounts for the case

but i dont know anyone with a 3d printer,

if anyone has any thoughts on the spec id love to hear them
 
its dangerous to span your build over such a long period of time - more for the fact you'll change your mind over and over and then rumors of tech coming out will slow you down etc etc

I see your going for the Strix with kraken , any reason for choose on flagship brand to cool with AIO kits? Same can be said for me as I have the same card but Phanteks waterblock with allows the backplate to be kept and cards RGB to be use don the block you'll lose all of this with the kraken, not sure if you'll have to remove the backplate for it . Plus you'll void your warranty with Asus for cooler removal .

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £828.88
(includes shipping: £9.90)

Both brands support cooler removal

You might get swayed over by Strix X299 if the CPU pricing is good ;)
