Buy an R9 380 or MSI gtx 960 because asus doesnt cool VRM and VRAM

could we have a link to the RAM you want to use? it's to verify they are ddr4 sticks...

RAM info would be great. Also plan on upgrading your GPU

aww, ok

This should be under "New Builds and Planning"...

 

Anyway:

Definitely upgrade your GPU soon, pairing a 960 with a 6700K is like putting go-kart wheels on a sports-scar.

Also, the budget seems a bit high to use a Hyper 212 Evo.

And lastly, which specific HDD and SSD?

I'm sorey for putting this on the wrong thread (I'm kinda new to LTT forums)

 

the reason I picked the 212evo is that I am not goong to overclock the cpu and the storm scout 2 is not really compatible with water cooling (I know it is with a single 120 radiator but It looks a bit wierd)

but please tell me if I am wrong here.

 

I allready have the hdd and ssd but they are theese ones:

hdd:http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005T3GRNW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1457377592&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=seagate+1tb+hard+drive&dpPl=1&dpID=51ZKOFxU8lL&ref=plSrch

 

ssd:http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0093RN0PI/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?qid=1457377681&sr=8-1-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Intenso+ssd+120

That case has two 120mm fan mounts on top, that should be able to mount a 240 rad. (Unless someone else who has the case can say otherwise...)

Also, you really should invest more money in the GPU. If this is a gaming rig, you don't need the i7 more than you need a GPU.

You can mount two 120fans on top but there is not enough room for the radiator(the mobo is to close to the top of the case. (you can mount it outside the case woth the fans inside but i dont really want to do that).

 

Linus did a build in this case and I got the information from there

 

 

I think the gtx960 is fine for now but I am going to upgrade it to a gtx 980 ti but I'm going to wait a while before i do this because I domt whamt to spend that much money right now and i don't want to buy a new cpu. Please tell me if my logic is flawed but it seems to be the right thing to do accordong to me.

You already have the CPU?
