Hi,
I need to buy a case for my new build. I travel often so it has to meet certain measurement criteria - L x W x H (14 x 22 x 9). Bear in mind while the height, 9 inches seems small, but the case will be lying on its side in my carry on bag.
The case can support micro ATX or mini ITX -...

Hi,
I am about to start my first PC build.
I would appreciate any comments on build and if someone was able to let me know if everything is compatible? And if the power supply is the correct wattage or whether it is too high?

I have intel core i5 3450s and some guy said you can overclock any proccessor not just the K ones,true? False?
Why does it say my proccessor can be turbo boosted to 3,5ghz but it's clocked at 2,8 and I can change the voltages in the bios. So overclockable or not?
