Hello,
I'm new to the forum and I hope I'll get help with some minor issues.
I'm planning a new computer to use both for gaming and for video-editing (up to 4K-resolutions among other things) and I want a computer to last for a long time without changing the CPU but only the RAM and GPU (and the fans).
Here's a screenshot of the components I'm planning to use (it's in Finnish, but I think you'll manage
):
Now I would have liked to get the Noctua NH-D14, but that was too big for the case in question. But then I found the brilliant NH-C14. But here's the thing I'm worried about:
1) Because of the direction of the fans of the C14, will that change/destroy the airflow of the case and/or risk increasing the over all temperature in the case?
2) Will it be too cramped with the fans blowing towards the case-wall and mobo?
3) Will NH-C14 be enough for this processor? I'm not planning on overclocking (at least not within warranty-time) and so far I've managed to use my old Core2 Duo 2.83 Quad-core with stock fan for 6 years so a C14 should handle this CPU with ease, shouldn't it?
Reasons why I chose Antec GX500: 1) Cheap, 2) very good fan-options for the price, 3) spacious (apart from width) 4)I lilke the look of it (yeah, stupid reason, but whatever), 5) Form-factor is NOT full ATX = Not a monster to have in the room.
If you guys have any comments on the rest of the system, feel free to comment. E.g. I'm a little bit unsure about the mobo aswell; can I do SLI on this one all though it doesn't have two identical PCI-E-ports?
Glad for any suggestions and constructive comments and sorry for the long question.
