My Planned Build

[shinigamidaiko]

Hi everyone, do you think that these components would work well with each other ? i don't plan to use it for gaming.

I'm just a bit worried about the Heat Sink not fitting in the case, and that it might not leave enough space for the second RAM module (the one close to the CPU).

Cooler Master Silencio 650

Asus P8B75-M LX PLUS

Intel Core i5 3470

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

G.Skill F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM

OCZ Vector 128GB SATA III

I already have a PSU, an nvidia 8400 GS graphic card, two external USB 3.0 HDD for storage and internal DVD writer.

The heatsink will fit in the case. Ripjaws X will fit underneath it. You can always mount the Hyper 212 fan on the other side and use it in a pull configuration so it doesn't hang over the RAM slots.

Can you please tell me the meaning of "pull configuration" ? And is it risky to have the heat sink hang over the RAM modules ?

It just means putting the fan on the other side of the heatsink so instead of pushing air through the heatsink it pulls air through. Having the heatsink hang over the RAM is fine, no problems with that. http://cdn.overclock.net/9/99/9911feb7_ix6rgy.jpeg

And what happens when the heatsink pulls the air through ?

Air goes through the heatsink. Nothing interesting happens.

I apologize for asking too many question, i just wanted if it would make the heatsink work in a less efficient way.

Nah, it's fine.
