I am wondering if this system is compatible in general.
More specific questions:
1.) Will this case be able to fit this setup?
2.) Do I need to buy a separate CPU cooler despite the CPU and GPU coming with 'fans'?
3.) Is the motherboard compatible with the GPU? The motherboard only provides crossfire support and the gpu only provides sli support, but I do not intend to have more than one GPU. Is it correct that these will work together with only the one gpu without adding more later?
4.) Is a fully modular power supply worth the extra cost? The next cheapest 600W PSU is $30 less.
5.) Is a 600W PSU excessive when the PCPartPicker site estimated 369W?
Thank you!
