Should I have a case to match my motherboard and RAM?

[Guest]

Hi guys,

This is a aesthetics issue and I was wondering what you guys would do.

I am getting the ASUS M5A78L USB 3.0 motherboard, (blue) and HyperX FURY RAM (Blue). The case I am looking at is a Corsair Spec 01. Would you guys get it in red or blue if this was you?

Many thanks,
AKNerd

I wouldn't care at all. It's just a case. It's more important to have a case with good modularity, cable management and airflow.

What CPU , DON'T PUT A 125W CPU on the board.

FX6300.

Good choice and no overclocking on that one either.

I always match my ram..My OCD.

I thought it supports up to 140w.

None of the Micro boards are a good match for 125w.

Poor power phase and thermal design.

Is the Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970 Motherboard (Socket AM3+,) any better? The only thing is, is that I have to buy a GPU rather than use-on board. I do have a GT-610, but i think its causing me problems. Have a look at this: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2833090/bad-gpu.html See what you think. If I can, I would rather get the Gigabyte as it is more modern.

Does it sound like a GPU problem?
