So previously I got a rather "budget" build, the basic specs are
CPU: i5-4670k (Stock Cooler)
MOBO: MSI Z87-G43 (Non Gaming)
RAM: Kingston HyperX blu.
So, I'm intending to upgrade my GPU from a 7870XT to a 780 Classified ACX with no intention to SLI afterwards.
I'm also intending to add in a closed loop water cooler (Corsair 100i) and my concern is whether they'll fit in my Corsair 300R without hitting the ram since my motherboard is the G43 which the ram placement is rather high.
I'll be overclocking both my CPU and GPU as high as possible and knowing that the eVGA 780 Classified ACX (planning to upgrade) can be overclocked to 1.3v so will a SeaSonic M12II 750W be enough? I am not intending to SLI it for several reasons.
Are 2 side fans (either 120mm or 140mm) useful for 1 eVGA 780 Classified? The reason I want to add one is because the CPU H100i will be installed in a "push" mode so the air going through the radiator maybe a little hot.
Lastly, are SSD useful for game loading speed or FPS performance if you install ONLY the OS on it? Meaning that the games and other media will be installed on HDD (maybe Raid 0).
This maybe a bit rude but please do not recommend any other product unless it doesn't fit as I've chosen this parts to fit my blue-ish black theme.
