I am going to be building a computer, but I am not sure if all of it will fit in the case, I don't want to change any of the parts but if the computer case needs to be changed I would like to do that.

The case


I would also like any comments on how this setup will run, is it bad? I don't know much about computers as I am just a gamer and trying to setup a gaming computer, my friend helped me set this setup up, but I would like reassurance before I buy it, as it is a lot of money.

In advance, thanks!!

Yes it will all fit. Really, the only two things that are of physical size concern in a case are the GPU, and a tall cooler like the 212 Plus. And both of those have enough clearance in that case to fit.

You dont need 32Gb of ram for gaming, 8Gb is more than enough, also the 3770k will perform the same as the cheaper 3570k in games. PSU is way overkill unless you are planning on adding a 2nd 7970 in xfire. A gtx 770 is faster and costs the same, it just doesnt come with any free games, so if you want those get the 7970 if not get the 770. Read this link and post the added info and we can show you a better gaming build.

Thank you guys for the quick replies, and I'll specify a little bit for why I have some of things in there.

The ram is because of hosting servers, and I am into a bit of animations, but I will be doing more gaming rather then that.

Ill go with the i5 as you guys suggested

As for the motherboard is the xfire where you have 2 video cards? But that really only works when you have more then 1 monitor is what I was told.
If so then what should I downgrade to?

For the graphics card ill stick with the 7970

And the ssd I'm going to have ALOT of games, and have the budget for it.

Hope ip didn't miss anything, also I'd like to apologize for not reading the guideline you showed me in that link bignastyid.
I am new to this area, and didn't know where to look, I found this through googling how to know if my computer was going to fit with all the parts.

That's my only last thing, is if all of it will fit inside the case...

But again thanks for the very fast replies!! :)

Oh u didn't know that then about the water cooler, then is there a certain amount of fans I should buy? Or is the default the case incomes with be enough?

As for the ssd ill stick with it, I have seen multiple things about its loading time, as well as others telling me that it does and doesn't work. So it's like a 50/50 on if it works or not I suppose.

Loading time, yes. Gameplay, not so much. (I have 2 SSD's in this particular box)

A $35 air cooler will keep things cool and quiet, and will never, ever piss all the fluid out on the floor and kill the PC.

Yeah that's great then, but I just looked up air coolers, and am completely lost, could you direct me to an air cooler that I could use with the case I Put above? I looked at some air coolers on newegg just how, but was dumbfounded as they were all like 200$, and I'm not sure if they're old fit or not, I'm really bad with choosing in they area it seems

Crossfire/SLI will work if you have one monitor. All you have to do is connect both cards to the same monitor, though I don't think it'll be necessary on a single 1080p monitor.

SSDs do increase gaming performance to a certain extent. It loads the game much faster than compared to a HDD.

Since you're not overclocking, you don't really need an aftermarket cpu cooler. The stock cpu cooler is meant to keep the cpu running at stock speeds. Thought if you really want an aftermarket cpu cooler to be certain, grab the Hyper 212 plus.

Ok I have grabbed the hyper 212 plus.

The only things I require now is a downgrade of the motherboard, possibly downgrade the power supply, and if someone could help me out with verifying that it will actually all fit. I have no idea how to know if those parts will fit inside the case, or if someone can tell me how I can do that don my own would be great!

thank you guys so much for the help, and getting past my ignorance of how to post a correct post about this, I will be staying on this forum and try to join the community to help out as you guys do :]. I really do appreciate it, and I'm choosing usafrnet as the solution thing, although I appreciated everyone's help. Again thanks and have a great rest of the day :)
