Hi, I'm doing a build in the Node 304 case and I was wondering if my graphics card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202001&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=) would fit with my power supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703036&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=) thanks in advance.

I'm doing a similar build. I've been doing my research because I want to have a new computer up and running before Battlefield 4 release. Here is MY build. If anyone sees any problems or suggestions, I would appreciate it.

1. Case: Fractal Design Node 304 (WHITE) * Will be released in mid Sept based on what FD rep told me.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352027&Tpk=node%20304&IsVirtualParent=1
2. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77N Wi-Fi
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128568&Tpk=ga%20z77n&IsVirtualParent=1
3. Processor: Intel 3350p if I DON'T plan to overclock
Processor: Intel 3570k if I DO plan to overclock
4. Memory: 8GB of Corsair XMS3 1600 Mhx DDR3 Ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145315
5. Power Supply: one of the following compact PSUs so it will fit in node along with long video card:
a. Silverstone Strider ST50F-P 500w modular PSU (WxHxL) = 150mm x 86mm x 140mm
b. Silverstone Strider ST60F-P 600w modular PSU (WxHxL) = 150mm x 86mm x 140mm
c. Silverstone ST55F 500w modular PSU (WxHxL) = 150mm x 86mm x 140mm
6. Hard Drive: Western Digital 500 GB (I don't save ANY movies on my computer and don't keep ALL my games on my computer) so 500 GB is fine. I may move up o 1 TB just to be safe.
7. Operating System: Windows 8
8. CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Vortex 211Q
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103084&Tpk=cooler%20master%20vortex%20plus%20cpu%20cooler&IsVirtualParent=1
9. Silverstone PP05 short cable set for PSU

This is the build I am looking at doing soon. Since BF4 comes out at the very end of October, I want to wait until the last minute to get a Video Card so I can hopefully get the best deal. When I DO get a video card, I'm thinking of a EVGA GTX 670 2GB. My current monitor is only 180x1050 resolution and think this will be more than enough for my gaming needs.

ANY FEEDBACK ? ?

Based on Newegg prices (I know you can get better if you shop around):

GA-Z77N Motherboard 1155 socket ($120)
i5 3570 ($220)
-----------------------------------------------
$340

GA-Z87N Motherboard 1150 socket ($134)
i5 4570 ($200)
------------------------------------------
$334 Total

Thanks for the advice. To be honest I REALLY didn't even bother to look at the Haswell items because I just "assumed" that they would be much more. Since this is going to be a budget build where I'm looking to save $$$ wherever possible, I still want to have some features that are nice and a computer that will last (for gaming) 5-7 years. Looks like I WILL be getting the Haswell stuff
