Also going to try something different and not have a case!

Going to try and find a way of mounting it on a antistatic board and then put it on a wall!

Cheers again @arronleeds , @rhyseyness and @stconquest

Good luck!

Would love to see it if you pull that off

Atm im stuck between using a test bench as an everyday place for my parts or buy a a new case, test benches obvs give better temps but dust build up urgh, it's either that or il get the nzxt source 530, it's got a 9 fan controller.

All the parts arrived today, put them together, was working,

Then guess what, my sister comes in and says whats this and puts her finger directly on the mother board, and fried it though static discharge.

Thats 500 pound gone including os, going to try again with the spec 01.

Fantastic...

as people have been saying the motherboard is incompatible. it looks like you need an am3+ motherboard. another thing is you mite want to get an aftermarket cpu cooler for gaming. you can also get a liquid cooler. i have a corsair h100i gtx. it is really nice at temps at idle at the low 30sc but sometimes it goes up to 40c for a minute. but the h100i gtx may be too expensive for you it is 120 USD. good luck!

you dont need a cooler like a h100i for gaming, my cryorig r1 ultimate costs almost half the price of the h100i and cools as good if not better.

Idle is between 22-29 but they don't matter, gaming it gets to about 40-45c if it's a high demanding game. But on some games it only goes to about 31-33.
