Gaming rig

[Simo]

Looking at this build, can you tell if everything is compatible, is the cpu fan I've chosen good enough (computer will only really be used for gaming). Also how many case fans are there in the case I've chosen?

Hi Simo

Looks like a solid rig.

Cant see any compatability issues there and the Titan is more than adequate.

The case is this one

It has 4 fans as far as i am aware

 

[GazzaScotland]

Thats pretty much what I'm looking at as the moment as well. But with the HAF 922 case, and the P6X58D Premium instead.

 

[Gorman]

The HAF is a great case for a gaming rig.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Yeah, it looks the part aswell. Will need some tidying get the space for it though!

haf 922 looks bigger in the picture, but it is a great case that has very good cable management as well
