I am living in a very hot country, ambient temps of over 30 degrees C all year round. I plan to travel with my case, so I don't want to try water cooling.
I plan to get the Geforce 970 Strix (4GB) and a CPU cooler.
Space is definitely an issue in the case but an NHD14, TPC 812 or even the V8 GTS "should" fit. I have just read so many conflicting reviews and I'm stumped. Will a big CPU cooler negatively affect general airflow in the cramped case? Should I rather go with a smaller cooler, 212 EVO or Noctua U12P or something?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here are my specs so far:
Mobo: Gryphon Z97 Matx
RAM: 2x 8GB Vengeance Pro
Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M
PSU: Silverstone 550W
CPU: i5 4690K
Fans: 2x120 and 1x200
ODD (I want to keep it)
