All in all it cost me 743 USD to buy the parts and they apparently all shipped within 3 hours of ordering.

 

A couple of potentially (obvious) questions:

 

I plan of course on undervolting the GPU to help reduce thermal throttling. 

But anyone with this card, mind telling me or posting HWinfo or something about thermals?

I've read mixed reviews about it, almost 50/50 split on being a decent card and being a below average card.

 

It is a small case with likely little airflow, despite what Rosewill has on their descriptions.

I have some arctic silver paste I plan on re-pasting the CPU wit after I clean it with a cleaning kit.

 

Has anyone built in this case or a similar case before?

Any case mods or tips to help with thermals?

 

Hopefully it won't be too bad as I believe the most "intensive" game I am planning on playing is Overwatch (?)

I thought about maybe drilling or adding some extra perforations to the side panel?

 

I'll try to update this thread when I'm building. 

First micro atx build so hopefully it goes well.

 

Cheers!

I would add second HDD 2 terra, for games that do not need speed.

For sure!

I typically don't use more than 160GB but I may add mass storage at a future date
