Im new to bulding pc's, can some check all my components will fit?

KermitFreeman · Feb 20, 2015

Hey i am building a PC of cyberpowerpc and i wanted to ask if all my parts will fit in the case

here is the link to the exact build- http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1GT49L

Thank you to anyone who helps

*This pc is configured by the way, its not a pre-built system*

I don't see anything that would be incompatible. However, there is no way of knowing if a component is slightly too big or being blocked without assembling it yourself.

I have a recommendation though, don't take the 120mm case fans and DVD drive. Save that money for a better CPU cooler. The Intel Generic cooler is louder than a jet engine...

If you're not buying a pre-built, don't use CyberPower to select parts. They overprice things and use a horrible knock-off PSU.

The FX-8350 overclocked is better than the Xeon E3-1231. The R9 290x is better than the GTX 970. Don't skimp on the power supply, get a good 80+ Gold just for 20$ more. And don't use seagate Hard drives, when they break, the custumer support is awful.

XFX is skimping? lol. R9 290x > GTX 970? lol. Performance is almost identical yet the 970 consumes less power. 8350 > 1231v3? lol.

KermitFreeman · Feb 20, 2015

i would use pcpartpicker, but i dont know how to assemble pc's, and i would rather not due to the risk, i have heard many reviews on cyberpower saying that they are a great brand so i went for it.

badboyrog2 · Feb 20, 2015

all the cyberpower rig you selected are compatible

just choose a better psu like seasonic/xfx/antec hcg/evga B2-G2/rosewill capstone

get a good an after market cpu cooler like the rajintek themis or evo 212 if they are available?

KermitFreeman · Feb 20, 2015

so the parts will fit?

iLiftFood :

Anandtech and Cpuboss are the worst in benchmarking. GPUboss/CPUboss is sponsored by nvidia so of course they are against AMD in all benchmarks.
Anandtech is just plain inaccurate. No indication which CPU, RAM and motherboard were used in the benchmarks, nor if anything was overclocked.

I said the R9 290X is better for the price. Because clearly in this tomshardware benchmark they are equal (difference of FPS <5)
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-970-maxwell,3941-8.html
Does an increase of 4FPS justify paying 30$ more? I don't know where you live, but where I live money doesn't fall from the sky each day.

Again with the CPU (Passmark benchmarks)
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E3-1231+v3+%40+3.40GHz&id=2246
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+FX-8350+Eight-Core&id=1780

Does an difference of 600 points (7%) (which is negated by overclocking the AMD CPU) Justify paying 110$ more? Again is 140$ that disposable? OF course because its not your money, he's the guy who has to trust you and pay his money to buy something that wasn't worth it at the end of the day The 8350 4.0GHz easily overclocks to an 9590 4.7GGz by a press of a button on the software that comes with it.

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+FX-9590+Eight-Core&id=2014
1000 points better than the Xeon.

``so the parts will fit? ``

i suggest you the corsair 300R pc case to be sure everything will fit in
you have the opportunity to change the pc case in this built
because i do not know very well the pc case from cyberpower you choosed

KermitFreeman · Feb 20, 2015

ah ill look into that case, and haha i agree ill switch the gpu, thanks for the help guys

bloc97 · Feb 20, 2015

badboyrog2 :

The difference is 63W, so each hour the R9 290x uses 63Wh more than the GTX 970.
Assume you play games 4 hours per day for 365 days.
63Wh/1000 = 0.063kWh
0.063*4*365 = 91.98kWh

That's the electricity used more each year compared to the GTX 970
In my city its 5cents/kWh so it would cost me 4.5$ more each year.
In New York City the place where electricity is the most expensive in the East Coast, its 50cents/kWh so it would cost the guy 45.99$ per year.

That may seem a lot, but watching TV occasionally costs 200$/year. And don't forget no one plays a game that puts the GPU at full load for 4 hours each day indefinitely... Even in New York, a better estimate would be around 14$ more per year.

Good luck overclocking an 8350 without a $60 cooler. I've never seen an 8350 hit 4.7GHz without atleast a closed loop water cooler.

iLiftFood · Feb 20, 2015

Anyways, all this is irrelevant as OP says he isn't building his own.
CyberPower are not a good brand. Your PC may last 2 months then the PSU will come out in smoke. If you're getting a prebuilt/configuration from another site, try iBuyPower. There website can be a little harder to use, but they have much better feedback. I'm pretty sure you get the option to pick a respectable PSU, too.

KermitFreeman · Feb 20, 2015

i was originally planning on using IBuyPower, specifically a REVOLT PC, though i saw alot of ads for cyberpower pc on youtube vids
