I'm looking into having a push/pull radiator configuration for my cpu cooler and will that fit my case? I have my specs list below. I'm still in the planning stages right now. I want to overclock the CPU to 4.4-4.5.

is this to be a gaming rig or rendering build.

if its to be a rendering build

-better board for cheaper
-do not bother with low quality watercoolers. unless you get the h220 or a custom loop, its not worth your time
-cheaper ram sticks that perform the same
-no reason to get a seagate SSD. just doesnt make sense to get them
-much better 780
-a case so cheap its a steal at that price. its normal price is around the 80-100 dollar mark so grab it quick. the internals are laid out a little better than the coolermaster
-same psu, a lot cheaper
-do not bother with blu-ray unless you watch them at least once a month

if its to be a gaming build

-i7s arent fro gaming
-you dont need the extra ram
