Hi ,
In another thread i wanted to upgrade an old build of mine but as i finaly made up my mind and i wanted to go with a new Budget build so here it is :

-AMD FX 8320
-ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 ( preferre Over the ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 because of new chipset and features also Power phase ) is it woth it !?

-Kingston 8Gb 1600Mhz DDR3 (2 x 4GB)
-Sapphire TOXIC R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 WITH BOOST
-zalman z9 plus ( The probleme actually )
-power supply ( need advice . 550w will be good with a bit of overclocking !? )
-HDD : seagate barracuda 1tb

-so my main question and the probleme is , Will the r9 270x toxic will fit in the zalman z9+ !?
i did some research but i couldn't find exactly what i wanted to know

-if not could the Hdd cage of the zalman z9+ be taken apart ( for thoes who own a z9+ maybe ) so that can the card fit ?

-last are there other case that could fit the card but are more or less in the same price tag and with good air flow like the zalman z9+ ?

finaly : Is This build Balnced Overall ? and will it ( Outplay ) my old one Here !? .
and i am willing to do a little bit of over cloking later so i was wondering about the Wattage of the Psu that i should Pick ?

thank you very Much .

Ps : region from where i buy ( Italy ) mostly from : Amazon.it Or ebay.it
i buy with euro .

the asus M5A97 is cheaper and very very good ...i think you do not need to spend so much to have a 990fx chipset

did you tried the zalman Z3 plus????

Yes , thank you the zalman z3 plus it's a good loking and good airflow case and it can fit 360mm Gpu ( even 2 270x toxic [308mm] with hdd cage removed ) so it fit good ,
i think am going with the Z3 plus
for the Mother board i chose the ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 over ther ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 because maybe i will do some crossefire later , i heard that the ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 does not work very well on that board and i just wanted to invest in a good Moba and new chipset for other future changes maybe !

so finally i just wanted to know what psu ( wattage should i get ) knowing that am going to overclock a bit
and if this new build good enough compare to my old one in the link above

thanks
