Build Suggestions Needed

[LousterB]

Hi all,
I've spent a few months selecting pieces for a build (with some guidance from other sources) and i am in need of someone else's opinion.By the way, I already have a case, RAM and HDD.

Build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/rhhM8K

My budget is pretty much the amount on the link.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!

here still a good cheap SSD, a better cooler, (what is your case, it determines everything), and a much better GPU RX480 newly released. if you have the money, get a GTX 1070 instead.
with a RX 480, it leaves room for a second RX480, no upgrades nessacaary. board supports XFire
its much better stuff for ~5 pounds more

I have a corsair carbide spec 01, from an old build.

 

[BadActor]

The Spec 01 will fit coolers up to 160 mm including the EVO 212 even though PCPP say it won't. A number of posters here have that combination.

 

[Ryan_78]

alright. anyways the Pure rock is better than the 212 evo
RX 480 too

 

[LousterB]

alright. anyways the Pure rock is better than the 212 evo
RX 480 too

But even on the corsair website is says that the max cpu cooler height is 150mm

 

[Ryan_78]

Alright I keep on forgetting this cooler. You gotten give it credit, as it performs as well as a 212 EVO as a 92mm cooler! The rainjintek aidos http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/b8h9TW/raijintek-cpu-cooler-0r100009
Right now they only have the black version. Like the red version better though.
This thing is amazing.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Where is the proof for a Spec 01 and a 212.

It list at maximum 150mm.

Can you link it please?

A pic or Video with side panel on , so that I can link it for future reference.

5 stars "Awesome case at low price"

Great case for those who a building a pc but are on a budget. Nice and quite, lightweight and looks awesome. The only problem is my cpu cooler (hyper evo 212) is touching the side panel, but the cooler is very big so I should have measured first.

I've been trying to look for some but the only ones I've seen are with the panel off. so, I'm a bit confused whether it can or can't.

Read my updated post with link , builder states it touches the side panel.

So Ryan, Which should i go for Pure Rock or the Raijinket?

 

[LousterB]

What about you blackbird? what do you think i should go for. bequiet PureRock or the Raijinket Aidos

 

[Ryan_78]

The pure rock is 155mm nvm
The only actually REALLY good one is the raijintek aidos. Tiny cooler = 212 EVO.

Likewise, the pure rock is much more silent. But the aidos fits.
So consider buying the raijintek aidos and then purchasing a quieter pwm fan to replace the stock one.

For a good fan, consider the Arctic F9 pwm. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/bpH48d/arctic-case-fan-afaco090p2gba0
For a premium fan, noctua http://pcpartpicker.com/product/jZn2FT/noctua-case-fan-nfb9redux1600pwm
Pall these work http://pcpartpicker.com/products/case-fan/#sort=a9&page=1&s=92&p=1
