I am going to build a computer, but I'm not sure if this build will work. My main concern is put the backplate on the motherboard. he is the list of my parts. by the way pretend that the micro atx prodigy m is a normal mini itx prodigy http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3K1gN
I have a couple questions that i need to be answered.
1. Should/can i put the h55 on the motherboard before it goes in the case or after / can i even do that?
2. Will the radiator fit on/in the case?
3. Any other problems with this build? any extra fans needed?
4. How many fans can i connect to this motherboard?

Thanks
James

Same price but extremely much more performance for that price.

The H55 would fit just fine, the H75 is just a bit better. Both you can install before or after putting in the case, as long as you have the backplate installed first.

I know you did not ask for other build suggestions, but I noticed several things about your build. I assume this will be used for gaming? You were spending way too much on cpu power and not nearly enough on graphics power. You picked and were about to pay extra for an unlocked cpu and were going to put it in a motherboard that does not support overclocking. The liquid cpu cooler is completely unnecessary. Lots of money was saved there so I was able to upgrade all the way to the GTX770. Combining a smaller ssd for windows with a larger regular hard drive for storage is a smarter use of money and gets you way more storage space. Why did you not include the mini ITX Prodigy in the first place?

Thanks, for me the case wasn't listed but might have just been me. I should have said this at the start but it won't be used for extreme gaming, because i will be installing mac os x onto this

They should really make Newegg for the UK haha.

I personally think that you could fit at least three fans in the case, if not, more.
