I've never built a PC before, but these are the components I have selected. I'm hoping to achieve the 165 fps needed for my monitor to be at its best, so I will probably play with a lot of shadows off in games if that will make a difference.
But is my case gonna fit that massive GPU? Will it not thermal throttle because I hate when that happens on my old "gaming laptop" (never again will I get a laptop)
Are those 2 fans good enough also?
Am I missing anything?
