Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P + Xigmatech S1283 in Antec 300 will fit??

[controlfreak]

Just double (triple) checking if all this will fit together in the case:

CASE: Antec Three Hundred
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz
COOLER: XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler
- BRACKET: XIGMATEK ACK-I7751 Retention Bracket

Thanks,
CF

i'm assuming that you have the HDD, RAM, vidio card thing figured out. anyway, those things are compatable. although the HS looks very big

It should fit, the 300 is pretty spacious

I have the same board with a core2 duo E7400 which i will be OCing soon, anybody have some suggestions on what cooler i should get? I have about a $50ish budget.

I'd prefer something with a Red LED fan, but it doesn't have to have one

If you want something Red, cheap, and do a decent job try this:
The LED on the Fan is White, but It has the Red blades

I have the UD3R mobo, Q9400 CPU, S1283 + retention bracket, and Antec 300.
I took a rough measurement before assembling and thought that I would have at least 1/8" clear between the heat pipes and the side of the case.

Pigbearman you can change the fan over to a red led fan so you don't compromise performance for looks, the xigmatek is a top cooler i am very happy with it and would recommend to anyone , you can look for a red led 120mm fan to replace the stock fan and it MIGHT make it perform better..if the fan is better obviously.. thats what i would do if i wanted a cooler with led's, tho i would go blue (makes it look colder, not hotter like red does, jk lol)

sorry i didn't read the $50 budget, i am not sure how much that would cost where you are..where are you btw?
