Im planning to build a new custom gaming rig.
Ive already selected the parts. I want to know if the parts I have chosen are compatible or not. Also I need to know if they will fit inside the case with good airflow. I dont want a full tower case. If they won't fit please suggest another good mid tower case. I also want to know if the cpu cooler that I selected is good or should I go for another one? Do I really need a liquid cooler? Also please give me a link that explains more about such liquid coolers.
Thanks

I believe they are compatible. That case is pretty good and you shouldn't have any problem with the air flow. H100i is one of the best liquid coolers out there. Stick with it, I'd say.

If you are going to overclock, sure. Even if not, get one I'd say if you have the dosh. You may want to give overclocking a shot later on.

I'd recommend a better PSU though. Corsair VS is not really a reliable series. Get one of these, maybe.

That seasonic psu is a good choice.Other options,

the antec would support crossfire.
I would get this ram,

cheaper and faster.
I would get this ssd,

a strong contender in reviews.
Youn install windows via usb? There's no dvd player in the build.
You could do with another cooler ,it depends on what you want.There are about as good air coolers for less and severall liquid coolers also for less and almost the same performance.

don't need the H100, H60 will work fine, take the savings put it in to a 256gb ssd or in faster ram. 650W psu is ample (stay away from everything XFX nightmare warranty issues). everything will fit in the case but you could change out the case if you're not going double rad. all the corsair 300 series are nice if you want to stick with that style the 300R will work but there are other cases from other vendors worth looking at.
