Recently upgraded my computer, complete overhaul new motherboard, processor, case, the works. I absolutely love the outcome with the parts I'd chosen:

ASUS Z87-PRO
INTEL I7 4770K PROCESSOR
KINGSTON HYPERX GENESIS 8GB MEMORY
DIABLOTEK EVO CPA-6170 CASE
INLAND 600WATT PSU
HIS AMD R9 270

Now comes the fun part the overclocking, but first I need a good aftermarket heatsink for my processor. I've bought the Enermax EST-T40-TB as my heatsink of choice but am not sure about the clearance size wise fitting into the case. W 7.48" CM
Thanks

So after a good nights sleep, I went ahead and added the Enermax heatsink. It was sucessful! It fits like a glove with room to spare. Did a stress test at 100% load and max temp was up to 123° under normal load, it stayed steady at 64°. Ive ordered another fan from Enermax along with 4 pin to 3 pin female power adapters for my case fans. I am looking to run ASUS 4 way optimization. So with luck once everything is set I can OC with plenty of ventilation.
