I'm considering building my first custom pc with the following components:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-16GB-1600MHz-Vengeance-Memory/dp/B007TG8QRW/ref=pd_ybh_6

Zalman Z11 Plus Midi Tower Case (ATX, M-ATX, Supports Bottom PSU Installation and Aperture for Cable Management, Anti-Vibration Rubber Stand)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007C008L2/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i5?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0AWM98TVJ7HEQ0JF5GNT&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=358549767&pf_rd_i=468294

Hard drive 1.5 TB, 7200rpm (variable), SATA (taken from my old pc)

Plus an optical disk drive also from my old pc


I am wondering whether there are any incompatibilities with this setup, or (more embarrassingly) whether these components will physically fit the case or motherboard.

If more information is required I will endeavor to provide it.

Thanks in advance.


 


I disagree. It will only cool 1-2 degrees better than a good air cooler and make A TON of noise.

I ALWAYS recommend an air cooler over a closed loop watercooler. Liquid cooling is only really worth it if you build a custom loop.

Would you recommend any additional air cooling solutions beyond what's already included?
