Is this motherboard good for my build?

[xxHAPPYxx]

Hi I'm thinking of building a pc but is my MoBo good enough for it.

MoBo: Gigabyte H97M-HD3 - http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128731&cm_re=Gigabyte_H97M-HD3-_-13-128-731-_-Product
CPU: I5 4460
GPU: MSI GTS 970
Ram: 16GB ddr3 Corsair vengence

One thing I have notised is this MoBo has only 1 fan headder and I want 2 fans so any recomended splitters?

Thx

It is fine, the second fan can go directly to PSU.

 

[xxHAPPYxx]

through what? How does that work?

 

[xxHAPPYxx]

the psu is XFX 550w. The Mobo cpu power needs a 8pin connector. will this have it?

 

[rolli59]

Yes all modern PSU's have 8 pin. Case fans normally come with fan to molex adapter that can plug into molex/peripheral connector on the PSU.

this is the fan i want to get: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CO-9050009-WW-AF140-Airflow-Single/dp/B007RESGGC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1446151258&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+AF140+quiet+single

Just add this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-CBFA04-15-Splitter-Cable-Fans/dp/B005FWXWPS/ref=pd_sim_147_6?ie=UTF8&dpID=41h6f7NqKCL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0TX37VG1XJD32WEZDX4H
splitter is only connectors and wire.

ok thx so i connect my 2 fans with this and plug into mobo?

 

[xxHAPPYxx]

also what cond of anti-static strap should I use?

 

[rolli59]

yes that will allow plugging two fans to one connector. Anti static strap is something I never use just make sure you touch metal parts of the case before touching components and build in a room without carpet.

 

[xxHAPPYxx]

are you sure it will be ok. i'm just a first time builder and £800 is alot of money to me as im only 13

 

[xxHAPPYxx]

also im not sure if the case surports 140mm fans. It says 120mm or 240mm for liquid cooling. Does this mean i can get a 140mm in cause its half way?

 

[rolli59]

What case?

 

[xxHAPPYxx]

Oh yeah i didn't mention it silly me.

Cooler master n200 : http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BTQD40W/?tag=pcp0f-21

Also (you dont have to answer this I feel like im pestering you) Is the HDD good.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-ST2000DX001-Desktop-Internal-Hybrid/dp/B00EIQTKAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448193375&sr=8-1&keywords=Seagate+2TB+3.5%22+7200RPM+Hybrid+Internal+Hard+Drive

 

[rolli59]

N200 supports 120mm fans 140mm would be a waste, that HDD is fine have a couple of them.

 

[xxHAPPYxx]

I don't need 2. 2TB is enough for now but in the future I might buy another so if one breaks I can still have a pc. Also any recomended fans at this price range.( up to £20) 120mm

 

[xxHAPPYxx]

Btw thx for your help you deserve the solution

So should I scrap the case fan for 2 of these?

Nothing wrong with the fan coming with the case, just add fans if you want.
