I am planning to build a gaming PC either in December or January. Originally, I was going to install these components in a Corsair 500R case, but due to the size of the video card, the possibility that I may add a third HDD, and concerns that what ever video card I might get in the future could be bigger, I felt it better to get a bigger case. I don't see the need to overclock at this time. The cooling fans that I listed are intended to replace the fans that come with the case because I want the system to be as quiet as possible. The sound card that I have listed is because I am a THX fan. This PC will also function as my home theater and will be connected to a 1080p LED TV. Here are the parts:
CPU Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core $219.98
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $29.99
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H ATX LGA1150 $114.99
Memory Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 $89.99
Storage Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD $209.99
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM $84.99
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM $84.99
Video Card Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB $329.99
Sound Card Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD $149.99
Wireless Network Adapter TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 $39.99
Case Corsair 600T Silver ATX Mid Tower $151.98
Case Fan Aerocool Silent Master 200B 76.0 CFM 200mm $19.98
Aerocool Silent Master 200B 76.0 CFM 200mm $19.98
Aerocool Shark 82.6 CFM 120mm $12.28
Power Supply Antec 620W ATX12V / EPS12V $64.99
Optical Drive Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer $58.99
Even though PCPartPicker.com says there are no issues for my build, My questions are:
1. Are the cooling fans that I plan to use going to be sufficient for keeping the hardware cool or do I need to add more fans?
2. I would like to use the four USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 plugs on the front of the case. Will the motherboard that I have chosen be able to connect to all of them, will i need an adapter of some kind (If I need an adapter please give me some recommendations), or a completely different motherboard?
Thanks.
