Overclocking isn't really dangerous if you know what you are doing and take it easy. If you ordered overclocked from PCS it would be fine. That said you don't need an overclocked system to game with, its just not needed.

Drop the cooling to the tripple copper heatpipe it will be more than sufficient. The Fenrir is a huge hughe cooler and can get in the way inside the case sometimes. The case itself should be fine.

Hmm...,,should be fine" , well its not that straight, I mean I could go with a better case I guess, which in my opinion would be the The Coolermaster HAF-X Gaming Case.
What do you think?

spec looks good dude,

If you wanna different case, look at the coolermaster 690 II, very very good case.

 

[St3rling]

Or maybe the COOLERMASTER CM STORM SNIPER - NEXT GEN GAMING CASE if that will be again in-stock one day
(I prefer the above gaming case way better tho

 

[tom_gr7]

yea the sniper is a beast.

 

[St3rling]

+1, gonna go with that

 

[NMEBowen]

looks nice just a pointer though if you are planning to add a 2nd 580 in a year or so you may want to choose the 1050w corsair modular psu as changing the 750 to add a 2nd gtx 580 maybe hassle.

 

[St3rling]

Thanks for the reminder NMEBowen. I was also thinking about it and more then probably I will go with this unit, when I will have all the money and totally finalized my spec.
