hey guys,

its the first time im building a PC by myself so i want to make sure everything fits in and that all the parts are compatible

budget: 850 euro

CPU: i5 3570k
CPU cooler: hyper 212 vevo plus

GPU: 280x/770(still cant decide)

PSU: corsair CX750M

HDD: WD blue (WD10EZEX)

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical

MOB: MSI z77a-g43 gaming

case: Zalman z11 plus

FAN: Corsair Air Series AF120 LED
Quiet Edition Blue

im planning on :
- OC my CPU
- Play games on Full HD
-maybe OC my GPU

if anything is not compatible please point it out ;D

advice is always welcome

questions:
will i have enough fan slots on my MOBO and/or can i just put them in my PSU??

greetings Thimo Beuzel
 
Solution
Semi-modular mans some of the PSU cables can be disconnected for easier cable management.

You will have plenty of fan slots. As long as that case has a 120mm fan slot at the back, that Corsair fan will work fine.

The Core 650 is not modular. The XXX Pro 650 is semi modular. Your pick really.



550W would be sufficient for the system as it stands. 650W gives you some headroom for overclocking and stuff, but even that is generous. 750W+ is only really useful for SLI/Xfire.

okay it costs me 5 euro more so i guess its worth it :p

could you explain me what semi modular means?

and what about all the fan slots, will i have enough space?

and is the Corsair Air AF120 blue viable as exhaust??
