Hello all,
So I have a dilema. The following are what I was hoping to have as my new build:
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX 300 55.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($18.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4 ATX FM2 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Value 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($62.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon RX 470 4GB NITRO+ Video Card ($209.89 @ OutletPC)
Power Supply: Raidmax 530W Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($53.98 @ Newegg)
The CPU, CPU Cooler and Video Card are all new, but what I didnt take into account was that my Case is not going to be big enough for the RX470
.
Currently I have:
Case: Raidmax Tornado (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case
Now I am stuck until I can figure out what case I should get!
I was hoping to spend somewhere around $50, but I understand that may be a very small budget for a case that will be able to house an 11.5in long card.
I also am new to all this and have a couple questions if you are able to answer. I realize that there are quite a few, so feel free to skip over them if you don't have the time!
Thanks for all the help!
Questions/Concerns:
If I got the parts I am looking to get, will my build be compatible?
If/When I switch CPU's will I have to reinstall windows?
Will the build be able to keep up with the card I have selected?
If so, my current tower only has about 10in for a graphics card, which is not enough for the card I have selected.
With a new tower, what difficulties may be brought by moving parts from the old to new? Such as reinstalling windows or something like that. (just curious what I'm getting myself into)
