Hey,

Here's my parts list below. This will be a music production PC, running cubase.

I've just got a few questions.

I'm wondering if the motherboard has enough slots for 4 case fans? (I plan to add two extra)

If the Crucial ram is reliable?

And if the PSU is reliable too?

Feel free to swap any of the parts as you see fit as long as there isn't too much price difference.

I don't need a graphics card btw, I'm not a gamer and the onboard graphics should be fine for me. I'm pretty set on the i5 7500 for price and performance.

Thanks! :)

Swaped the memory for faster memory.
The case will even fit the larger hyper 212 CPU cooler, the Cryorig M9i will make less noise than the Intel stock cooler under load.
For the power cables the ones that are not modular on that power supply are the ones you got to use anyhow.

You don't need but the 2 stock fans that come with the case.

Thanks for the reply man.

That case looks great, I didn't think about getting a smaller case before and the airflow looks much better!
Will the cooler fit into the case though? And why did you swap the memory? I'm also thinking fully modular would be the way to go to keep things tidy.

Thanks
