Here is what I have picked out so far

MB - Asus sabertooth 990 fx gen3 r2.0
CPU - Amd FX-8350 Eight core 4 ghz
Ram - kingston hyper x beast ddr3 2x 8gb @ 1866 mhz
PSU - Ultra X4 750w modular V2
GPU - MSI Radeon HD 7970 Twin Frozr III 3gb GDDR5
HD - Toshiba 1TB

Tower is hopefully gonna be
Thermaltake Commander MS - I snow edition

I need to know if the Corsair H80i will fit in this case or what kind of CPU cooling do you recommend?

Will It Fit on the Bottom of The case next to the PSU ?

I plan to overclock to 5 ghz and crossfire that card with a twin early next year as well as get a Solid State Drive.


Any Help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks So Much
Jason

- The heatsink is cheaper and will perform on par with the H80i. Frankly, the price for the H80i is a tad much. Either go with custom water cooling or don't do it.
- The case that you want is a bit poor in build quality. I replaced it with the HAF 912 from Cooler Master. Awesome budget case. Arguably one of the best in its category.
- Ultra X4 isn't from any reputed manufacturer. I wouldn't buy it.
- Added a SSD for faster load times.
