I recently buttoned up this builds and was looking for a little advice on how to go about a few things.

In Win BP-655 w. 300-watt PSU case
GIGABYTE Z97n-WIFI mini-ITX
INTEL G3258
Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB DDR3
PNY GT 730 1GB GDDR5
160GB VelociRaptor
ASUS DVD drive



Anything out there that is significantly better than the GT 730 that is both single slot in brackets and height and low profile?


What websites are useful for getting some ideas on case modifications?


The case fan that the case came with is an exhaust fan but I don't like the set up. It has an exhaust on the side and a vent on the top part. I feel as if it is just slowing down the hot airs movement. I would like to flip it around and use it as an intake fan. Pushing ambient air into the case that will exit through the top vent.

Any comments on this thought?

The GPU fan blows on the side of the case lid and I think it is causing heat soak aswell as some of my blue screening problems with the overclock. The BSOD's are significantly less frequent when the case is open. I want to cut a hole in the side of the case and fill it up with an exhaust vent/grill. Anyone have an articles where someone has done something like this?
