Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.

I've search a plenty and can seem to find a lot of answers on this one... unfortunately they seem more than a little inconsistent, so I'm here for some help!

Can the Thermaltake Element Q with it's standard 220W Power Supply handle

AMD A10 - 5700 - 65TDP (can anyone confirm the stock heatsink and fan physically fit)
HD 6670 (any advise on which physically fit also appreciated)

Other kit in there is pretty light on power
No Optical, SSD and WD Green hard drive.
Extra 80mm Fan

I've already read a hell of a lot of people opinions, so i'm really looking for actual owners (or former owners) of Thermaltake Element Q's to answer this one definitively.

Thank you for all your help in advance.
If you need any further details please don't hesitate to ask.

I, too, would be interested in any of this info. I'm planning a FM2-based build in the Element Q. Had been thinking A10-5800k, and later adding a single-slot 7750 or 8xxx-series equivalent.

I had been working on the assumption that the stock CPU cooler would be too tall (max height is reported to be 48mm in the element q), so was planning to get a Scythe Kozuti.

In terms of power draw, I've seen people feeding-back on rival shopping sites that they have a 7750 in one of these. The 6670 uses a little more power than a 7750, though.
In bare numbers, it should be ok - 65w for the A10-5700, and around 50-60w for the 6670 leaves plenty on the 12v rail for opticals and HDDs.
 
I opted for the Silverstone SG06 with 450 Watt PSU, and the A10 5700 so should be fine on that front now.

Now trying to find out if the Silverstone NT06-Pro cooler will fit on a msi-fm2-a75ia motherboard.
