The GPU just barely fits,

It is touching the PSU, I didn't expect the PSU to be this long, it's even longer than my AX860!

Image doesn't work for me

^ Same for me.

I'd spend less on the cpu/mobo and focus more funds on the gpu.

I wouldn't go anything lower than an i5 though, maybe just skip on the SSD and get a 280x, maybe get a SSD in the future

I was thinking just a non-K i5 and cheaper mobo.

It's quite a bit more than that.
This is not even considering you can leave out the 212 Evo.

Final Touches


Flipped the case for better airflow, I want it to take in cool air from below and push hot air off the top.

How's the 270X treating you? I'll be getting the Hawk version of it early next year.

Get the his ice q x2 turbo. Better overclocking potential. The memory chips aren't that good, but it has a good board design and the core clocks like crazy. Score better than 760 easily

I got it to 1200 core clock stable, 1550 on memory without adding any voltage, all games that I play on that machine (DOTA 2, BF4) runs fine, BF4 around 44 FPS ultra. hopefully it gets better when matle is fully implemented.

yeap. I was pondering on how to make the airflow better since Bitfenix designed it to push cool air down. Figured I just had to flip it.

Im in Australia, and where I am HIS cards are not available, so that's why i'm going for the Hawk.
