Most large cases are fine for water cooling. Most of the bigger Corsair and Lian Li cases in particular. I would certainly go for a full tower anyway.

 

[Guest]

can you please put the names please>,<

 

[jmsellars1]

Sure, here are some suggestions:

NZXT Phantom Full Tower

you can get more ram for your rig but games hardly use 6GB of ram. Where that ram comes into play is in Adobe's CS family and Autodesk products.

which site will you be purchasing from?

 

[Guest]

ahh but i'll be rendering for AutoCad and 3D Max in the future.
So i think i'll need 8Gb but please correct me if im wrong.

I'll try to buy or order from where i am.

 

[Lutfij]

i.e: your location?

 

[Guest]

Philippines>,<

 

[Lutfij]

i can't place my finger on it, but there's a site for purchasing parts in Philippines correct?

[Guest]

thanks for the site(^,^)V

is my planned correct btw?
No mismatch or bottleneck?

 

[Lutfij]

go with extreme 6 mobo+ 8Gb of ram from corsair or mushkin of at least 1600MHz. change case to fractal define R3 / R4 or a corsair carbide

 

[Guest]

Why extreme6?
From what i read 4 and 6 has the same features.

 

[Lutfij]

Has beefier cooling, has support for mini pci(located between PCI-E slots for crossfiring) handy for adding a wifi card, has a Display port handy for connectivity, onboard 1394 port and :lol: floppy connector :lol:

just looks better IMO + Tom's approved board.

thank you for that mate!

 

[Guest]

they don't have extreme6 there though only 4.

 

[Lutfij]

oh well what bout the case? might want to look at the core 3000 by fractal - I think azeem was the one who I suggested , get the case.

 

[Guest]

can you put the whole of the RAM and Case you recommended?

 

[Lutfij]

oh sorry,
fractal core 3000
mushkin enhanced blackline ridgeback 1600MHz (if you can find 2000MHz then brilliant!) or corsair Vengence 1600MHz in black

you talking about this?
It has too many features i don't need like that number of RAM.
If i was a movie editor or do extreme rendering then it would be different.

 

[Guest]

I think i'll have problems w/ optical drives w/ factual since i don't see where i can even put it.

 

[Lutfij]

no mate,

mobo:
the asrock z77 extreme6

case:
fractal core 3000, Define R4 midi
corsair carbide ,300R ,400R ,500R

ram:
mushkin ridgeback blackline 8GB kit 1.5V
corsair dominator platinum
or corsair Venegence 8GB kit in black.

[Guest]

And i want a tower type case>,<
Need the space for water cooling if the future.

Thanks for the recommendation though.

 

[Lutfij]

oh you can watercool in a fractal. wait dya mean watercooling like the Corsair Hydro series coolers? don't bother wasting that money. Might want to look at my sigs to see my ongoing watercooling projects and the watercooling sticky to educate yourself about the real thing.

 

[Guest]

i don't know what water cooling i'll buy since i have limited budget and i'm concentrating on MoBo and Cpu atm. those two eats up my budget haha.

Since i want my build to last for years and upgrade them if games req start being a b1tch with crappy story>,<

 

[Guest]

ok i'll take the factual if it can accommodate water cooling.
I have CD and DVD writer.
I plan to use 2 HDD.

Can that case accommodate them?
