Hello!
I just wanted to ask if I will have good cooling enough in this build.
CPU-Intel Core i5 3470 - 194,30€
hdd-WD Blue 1 TB - 68,22€
ram-HyperX Blu 2x 4 gb - 66,50€
cd drive-Asus DRW-24B5ST - 20,54€
GPU-Gigabyte GeForce hd7950 - 214,56€ (or maybe gigabyte 660)
mobo-Asus P8B75-V - 79,41€
case-Spire Diablo 1059 - 26,40€
psu-Corsair CX600 - 71,22€
fan-2*Arctic Cooling Arctic F8 TC, 80 mm - 2*7,48
os-Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - 107,41€

No OCing and CPU cooler is stock. Other fans are case fans.

Case:

Build will be at very high load a lot of times with very demanding titles. My ambient temp really rarely goes to 35°C. Everything else should be fine.

Get the 7950 over the gtx660. The 7950 is WAY better.

As long as you have a fan in the front (intake) and one in the back (exhaust) you should be alright.

+1, though if you want to cut costs, you might consider a 7870 XT. It's a cut-down 7950 (don't ask me why they branded it as a 7870, I have no idea), and has nearly as much power for a significantly lower price (though this may not be the case in your country).

I know its way better. Ill see depending on the budget.

They dont sell xt/le in my country. But its basicly 7870 with cut down tahiti GPU instead of that pitcrain or something like that. Thanks to both of you anyway!

Sorry to hear that you don't have access to the XT. That thing is an excellent middle ground card.

I wish I'd been able to contribute something useful. That said, good luck and happy gaming!
