Upgrading, but need help.

[ThatSweetGamer]

I plan on upgrading by the end of 2014. It will be slow and I just want to make sure all the parts are compatible. Now what I have questions with is with the case and the CPU Coolers.  I know the back only has room for a 120mm Fan and not a 140mm Fan so I can't put the NZXT Kraken X41 there and I want to know if the top mounts are only 2 120 mounts or is it also 2 140 mounts. And also I have a second Kraken X41 because I plan on buying a Corsair HG10 N1 when it is released later this year, and I was also wondering if the Case can fit 2 140mm Fans up front or if it's only 1 140mm or 2 120mm. I am hoping it is 2 140mm because I plan on getting another 780 to put in SLI and also water cool with another x41 but that won't be for a while. Thanks!

When it says "Front: (x2) 120/140" Does that mean it has 2 140's or 1?

[ForsakenLive]

Why don't  you get the X61 for the CPU? It's like a $10-15 difference, and a bigger difference on cooling, your case supports it,.

[ThatSweetGamer]

It means you can have 2 120mm fans or 2 140mm fans

Ok thanks, that's what was confusing me.

I think I will, now that I know it supports it.

It blocks one 5.25" Drive bay if you mount it on the top.

Oh! Thanks for telling me!

you can install the GPU's X41 on the front, and keep the bottom drive cage.

It'd also support another X41 on the front for a second GPU, but you'd have to ditch the hard drive cage.

Yep, I noticed.
