Hi, I have a z97mx-gaming motherboard by Gigabyte, and am planning on using 4 case fans in my build. The motherboard has 3 case fan headers, and 2 CPU fan headers. The 2 CPU fan headers are labelled CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT. I will be using the CPU_FAN header for my cooler. So, I would like to know if I can or can't use the CPU_OPT header for a case fan? The manual says this fan header is for a cpu water cooler, so I am unsure if I can use it. The alternative I have thought of is to use a header splitter for the 2 fans at the top of my case. Just looking for opinions and recommendations, thanks. Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M Cooling top: 2x 120mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro Cooling back: 1x 140mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro Cooling bottom: 1x 230mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro All case fans use 3 pins, all headers or 4. Thanks for the help, Baz

u sure, cus the 760 recommends a 500w + ps?

Hi all, after my GCSE's I am going to be building my first gaming PC on a budget of about £900 (small right). I have made plans from watching Linus tips, and NCIX, but would like some thoughts on the components I plan on getting. Components: Case: Black BitFenix Prodigy M (mATX) CPU: Intel Core i5-4670, Haswell GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760, superclocker 2GB, rear exhaust, EVGA Mother Board: Gigabyte Killer GA-Z87-G1. Sniper M5 (mATX) CPU Cooler: be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 CPU Cooler RAM: Corsair Memort Vengeance, Low Profile , 8GB (2x4GB) 1600 MHz Hard Drive: 1TB, probably Western Digital, unsure stillPower Supply: 550W Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular, 80 PLUS Bronze ( will probably change to semi-modular) Cooling: Top: 2x 120mm BitFenix fans (included with case) (intake) Back: 1x 140mm BitFenix Spectre Pro (exhaust) Bottom: 1x 230mm BitFenix Spectre Pro (intake) Font: Power Supply intake Peripherals: Mouse: Razer Taipan (already own) Keyboard: Simple Lenovo, until I get a mechanical (probs Razer Black Widow 2014, with Razer Silent keys) Monitor: Still looking for a nice one for about £100-£140 Main Questions: Should I get a different CPU? Should I get a different motherboard? Do I need the Vengeance RAM? Could someone recommend me a monitor, or Power Supply, I would prefer a semi-modular as it is a small case, but am up for any suggestions. Thank for the taking the time to listen to me ramble on, any advice or comments will come in super handy.
