I don't know what case to get and i have looked at the NZXT Phantom 410 which is weird to build in, so i've heard

 

So i want to get the NZXT H440 Black and red to go with my colour scheme and to eventually put red LED strips inside.

 

I need to know if everythingn will fit in the mid tower build with this set up: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/N2hzcf

 

 

thank you

You need a Z97 motherboard for that 4690k

Laptop: Thinkpad W520 i7 2720QM 24GB RAM 1920x1080 2x SSDs Main Rig: 4790k 12GB Hyperx Beast Zotac 980ti AMP! Fractal Define S (window) RM850 Noctua NH-D15 EVGA Z97 FTW with 3 1080P 144hz monitors from Asus Secondary: i5 6600K, R9 390 STRIX, 16GB DDR4, Acer Predator 144Hz 1440P

As Centos 7 SU once said: With great power comes great responsibility.

No it won't. The H440 has no optical bay. Why do you need a DVD drive anyway?

 

Also you can't overclock on that board. But rather then getting a z97 board, I would recommend getting http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646e31230v3 as it is an i7 without iGPU.

Either get 4460 with H97 combination or 4690K with Z97 combination.

 

I'd select G2/GS series PSU over NEX series PSU. Or Seasonic.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

i wans't planning on overclocking doe, does that still matter??

Then why the hell do you have a 4690k.

Get a 4460 then

And then go with H97 if you want to be safe. B85 may not come shipped with the BIOS update.

 

Get a better PSU anyone from seasonic or xfx or EVGA G2

Then get 4460 CPU with H97 board.

 

If you overclock, you'll get extra performance.
