There are a few points I'd like to get some feedback on please.
1. Is everything compatible? Specifically, I'd like to know if everything fits (I checked the RAM and cooler dimensions and they seem to clear just fine), but also if I'm missing anything due to my inexperience.
2. I'm building this system for productivity, not gaming. This involves some programming, data crunching, maybe some model rendering. That's why I'm not really focusing on the graphics card but I figure having 1080p for watching videos and such would be nice. Are there any better suggestions than what I put up? I'm not looking to spend a lot of money here.
3. Are there any particular thoughts about the motherboard? I've heard good things about the Master but if the chipset fan is loud like some say (this may have been said only before the BIOS update that gave fan settings) then I'd appreciate alternative suggestions.
Thanks a lot!
