  1. I want to go with mATX because I already have an mATX board, the Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H, and would rather build with it than try to sell it. I also have 4 DIMM's, for a total of 16GB, whereas I'd have to purchase 2 DIMM's for the same amount of memory. Here's what I plan on using, just for reference: Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H 4x4GB Corsair 1600MHz Zotac GTX 750 CM Hyper 212 Evo Corsair CX430M Kingston V300 120GB SSD 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
  2. Hey guys, I'm planning on building an mATX PC, and I'm afraid I've run into a small issue. When I originally planned this build, I had plotted out the airflow inside of the case. I was hoping to have the PSU's fan facing the front of the case, pulling in cool air, and export it out the exhaust through the bottom (the PC will be placed above a return air vent, so any hot air will not stay near the computer), as well as a 120mm fan right above the PSU pulling cool air into the case. To better explain how I wanted this set up, I used the super sophisticated MSPaint to at least give a visual, posted here. Now, it doesn't seem that I will be able to fit a 120mm fan right above the PSU. Can anyone confirm this? I'm planning on using the Corsair CX430M. If anyone has a PSU to suggest that would fit both, I'm all ears. I don't need more than 450 watts, and I prefer 80 Plus Bronze certification. Thanks!
