okay thanks.

I would like to know whether the Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5 will support NZXT Kraken X61 on top of the case with or without push pull configuration.

I have a query, i am planning to build a new PC, so far i was well decided to go with the NZXT Noctis 450, but recently i got to see some reviews of the Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5.The Latter favors more upgradiblity options. My concern is, Will it Support NZXT Kraken X61 with push pull configuration on top of the case?

But the R9 390X is notoriously power hungry, I don't want to spend on a PSU now, I have a cooler Master 500watt. Also, I saw benchmarks of this particular model of GTX 970, which is as fast as a Reference 980, so will the extra dollars for the 390X be justified?

Should I buy the Zotac GTX 970 Extreme Core Edition (ZT-90107-10P) or the Sapphire R9390X? I would be gaming at 1080p, and would be doing 3D modelling in Autodesk Revit, Rhino 3D etc. Will my old CPU Core i7 920 bottleneck these GPUs?

Like i said, Autodesk Revit,AutoCad and even 3DS Max, Rhino 3D,Google SketchUP. And Games, well mostly FPS and Racing, for instance BF4,Crysis 3,Rainbow Six Seige etc. @ 1080p

Hello Everyone, i'm a new member to this forum. Here's a question that i would like to ask. So, i'm a student of Architecture (B.Arch). I do lot of 2D and 3D work for academic purpose, i use softwares such as Autodesk Revit, Autodesk AutoCad, Rhino 3D , Google SketchUP and Photoshop. I have been using a Lenovo Y510p laptop for almost a year now, it has an inbuilt Nvidia Geforce GT755m 2GB GDDR5 clocked at 5400 MHz (GPU clock 955MHz), 384 Cuda Cores and 86.4GB/s of memory bandwidth. It can handle most basic works such as 2D drafting in Autocad and general modelling in Rhino & Revit. But, when i try to make large models such as an Airport or creating a mesh of complicated geometry in Rhino, that's when the lagging starts happening, when i 3D orbit a model, it takes so much time to revolve,it hampers the productivity greatly and takes a lot of time in changing views. With that said, I checked a few online forums, they said all these issues are taken care by professional cards such as Nvidia Quadro or AMD FirePro series. I did my own sort of research from what is available on the internet, and i happen to find out that, Quadros and Firepros do not have that much benefit over a Geforce or an AMD Radeon now a days, beacuse , earlier the softwares used to run on Open GL, but now, most of them run on DIrect X. And then, there was another group of people who said Quadros give jaw dropping performance for Professional softwares such as AutoDesk Revit, Maya etc. I then selected a Quadro K2200 4GB DDR5 which is retailing at around INR 32,000 ($480), it is a refresh of the earlier K2000 model, and the newer one is based on Maxwell Architecture which is supposed to be very power efficient.To be honest, i'm also a bit of a gamer, i have previously owned a GTX 295 , an AMD HD 6770 and a GTX660Ti. So, after going through the market price, i thought of dropping the idea of buying a Quadro and instead choose to buy a Zotac GTX 970 AMP Extreme Core Edition (ZT-90107-10P), my other selections were MSI R9 390, Sapphire R9 390X , but the overclocked version of Zotac even touches the reference GTX 980 in most cases let alone the AMD cards which are notoriously power hungry. Like i said, i previously owned 2 PCs which are at my home, and my college is in a different State, but now i have decided to upgrade one of my PC and bring it to my Hostel.So, i would like to know whether i'm taking the right decision or not for gaming and my Academic work loads. I'm upgrading my Rig which is as follows : Intel Core i7 920 (2.8 GHz) (5 year old CPU) Intel DX580G Extreme Motherboard (X58 chipset) Zotac Geforce GTX 970 Amp core extreme edition (ZT 90107 10P) Samsung 850 evo 500 GB SSD Corsair Vengence 4 X 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz Deepcool Malestrom 120 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Cooler Master 500Watt PSU/ Corsair TX750W Cooler Master HAF 932/ Cooler Master Elite 311. i would be using a FullHD 24'' Monitor for Working and Gaming. Please suggest should i stick to Quadro or GTX970 would do the job, and if not, will AMD R9 3XX series be a better option? I also know about the 3.5GB+.5GB issue on the GTX 970, is it going to effect much or not, please suggest, thank you.
