Have you got anything else to store data on? a 120GB SSD won't last as long as you might think without a backup 500gb/1tb HDD for mass-storage.

Thanatognomonic :

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that, I have a 750Gb and 500Gb HDD's in witch I will storage all the stuff

MSI R9 280x is 10.6 Inches or 269mm, while the Antec 300 supports cards up to 11 inches or 279mm

maurelie :

Thanks for the info.

Now i will just wait for some opinions on the build itself, you have been very helpful

RCS5 :

Also about the build, i wouldn't change anything, all is good to go.

I have a problem now, the MSI VGA has run out of stock, changing store would a bit of an annoyance, so I would like to know I I would loose much with one of theese three cards:
SAPPHIRE R9 280X VAPOR-X OC 3GB DDR5 PCI-E
SAPPHIRE R9 280X DUAL-X OC 3GB DDR5 PCI-E (BF4)
XFX 280X 3GB DDR5 PCI-E

You will not loose, you will gain with the VaporX, it is a beast card. But then again if you don't have BF4, the Dual X comes with BF4, and that is nice. Although it will perform slightly worse than the VaporX and MSI, plus it doesn't cool the card as good as the VaporX and MSI.

maurelie :

Yes, I dont have BF4, and It would the first game I buy.plus 276mm long in a case that can take a 279mm I guess It would be realy realy risky.

You will need to cut through hard drive mount 3 and 4 to make space

Btw i think it will just fit. Do you have any friend with card that is almost same size so you can check how it fits, or measure it with ruler and see how it looks

maurelie :

I dont feel like damging the case to fit it, I have found someone here on the forums that have the same setup and asked.I will measure the case when i arrive home
