Bitfenix Prodigy M ideal for this build?

Unilision

Sorry for the multiple posts about my upcoming build. I have but just one last question.

 

Since I have finally chosen all my component's I have just one decision left to make.

 

Would the Bitfenix Prodigy M be ideal for this build? This is my first time using a AMD card, and before from me hearing about the amount of heat it'd produce, i'm afraid that the case would not be able to get enough airflow. So before anything i'd just like to ask and see if it would be fine or if I should lean towards another case?

It'll get pretty damn hot in there,but my guess is that it will be alright. You are risking it though, as the prodigy is not well known for its airflow.

If you're worried about heat, you can always use a Kraken G10 + H55 cooler.

Take a look at the Thermaltake Core V21, it has pretty good airflow.

I haven't placed one in the part list because i'm still unsure between getting the prodigy or just a simple midtower/atx

Yeah I fear that it'll be too much especially where I live, the heat is rather high, would there by any recommendation that you can give?

I'm trying to cut on the cost, if anything I'd rather get a case with better airflow than to get that atm

Not to my liking that much tbh xD

I have the regular prodigy. It gets warm but that comes with having a small case with a hotter than average GPU.
