UPGRADE and remake (fitting and cost checking)

[AphroDeity]

I need an advise if this will all fit.

Ok, I already have this parts:

PROCI: amd a10-6800k
Mobo: MSI a88x-g43
GPU: Sapphire r9 270x OC with Boost

and planning to build it using this:

CASE: NZXT 410
cooler: 2 Corsair H80i (1 for CPU and 1 for GPU)
I'll be using A Kraken g-10 for GPU

I was planning to get the case last and try to fit the coolers in my Aerocool Strike-x One. Or should i just wait until i can afford to get them all at once?



Thanks in advance

bad use of $$

ack... you already have some parts...

here let me give you some suggestions that will improve your build without tinkering too much with what you already have. maybe save you some cash.

trust me. you don't need a h80i and kracken g-10 to overclock a r9-270x... that combo is for people who go nuts on gpus like the r9-290/290x or the dudes who go insane on their titans or 780tis...

use that money to buy a serious SSD. you also don't really need a h80i for your cpu. that Noctua will do just as good a job and do it quieter

oh... if you're open to redesigning the system and you don't have anything bought... here is how i would spend your money.

this will come within $50 of the cost of your original build (i think it's like $30 cheaper); and it will beat down that original build as well.
