Questions About This Build

[prsnrs]

This is only my second PC Build. The goal a Photoshop/gaming/medical imaging PC. Is this overkill? Will the video board fit in the case with the other components? Thanks. PRS

That will be a nice, powerful system. Games might only benefit from a cheaper i5, but the medical imaging and Photoshop may benefit from the i7, so I'd leave it just like that.

Thanks Onus,

The Compatibility Notes from GooeyPC.com ask's the following:

Number of expansion slots required for this Video Card may be incorrect. Please review the number of expansion slots required to ensure compatibility; and to ensure Video Card is not blocking expansion ports required by other parts.

How might I predetermine if this build will work with the Antec Nine Hundred?

The video card is a double-slot card, which is not uncommon. In addition to its own slot, it will take up the one below it (looking at the upright case from the side) as well. Any other slot there will be unusable.
Some high-end Asus cards take up THREE slots now. Unless you are including additional expansion cards (such as a sound card or separate video capture card) that might need to go there, this will be a non-issue for you.

Onus,

Thank you. I'll be using the onboard audio and don't intend any additional cards. I'll leave that for PC Build #3
