Country: Germany.

Parts Preferences: See additional comments.

Overclocking: No.

SLI or Crossfire: No.

Get 1.5v RAM. The case is junk. You REALLY want a case with PSU on the bottom.

Everything else looks good. You should be able to get an r9 280 or r9 280x for the same price as the 760 but perform better.

Thanks for your help.

I replaced the RAM with Kingston HyperX 8GB Kingston HyperX 8GB.

Had a look at the R9 and choose the Sapphire R9 280.

Any other advantages of a bottom PSU vs. a top one except lower center of gravity and heat accumulation at the top?

Anyway the new case.

The PSU at the bottom makes cable management 1000% easier and will GREATLY improve airflow through the case.

The RAM, GPU and Case all look good now.
