  1. Is it really that simple guys? Cool, thank you, I'll report back with how it goes in a few days.
  2. Hi guys, I only have 1-2 components of my build left in the mail and I'm looking for some clarification on building. Here's what I have so far: Install CPU into motherboard socket RAM into slots Mount motherboard to chassis Install storage systems Prepare and set up CPU cooler Screw in PSU and connect all relevant cables Now I've heard people say power on the build and wait for something, then turn it off. What am I waiting for and when is it safe to turn off? Then do I install the graphics card and conduct a separate test? If so, for what? I'm kinda nervous if it isn't obvious.
  3. Absolutely fantastic looking case. Thanks to you and everyone else who replied, it really gave me peace of mind that my rig won't suffer from its looks!
  4. Hi everyone! I'm putting together a build for myself and all the parts are chosen. The main components are: Intel i7 6700k CPU (H110i GTX cooling) Asus Z170 Deluxe MoBo Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB DDR4 RAM Gigabyte GTX980 Ti 6GB VC Corsair RM650 PSU 240GB SSD, 2TB HDD (already have plenty of external storage) Now all that's left to choose is the case. I'm looking for something stylish and so went to NZXT. Spotted the H440 which looks fantastic but my concern with it is that ventilation is compromised. I've studied it as best I can online and it looks like there are vents on the side and top which could be problematic. Given the power and the fact there are 2x RADS (240mm for CPU, 120mm(?) for VC's cooler, I'm worried I may stress my rig. Same applies to their S340 I think it is. As an alternative, I've looked at the NZXT Phantom 530 but that side fan really spoils it. I also stumbled on the Graphite 760t from Corsair, but I can't quite decide if I like it or not. So far, it's growing on me but I was hoping you guys could tell me: A) If there are adequate airflow provisions in the H440 B) Alternative white-themed cases which do provide good airflow. Thanks!
