Will these components fit properly and be compatible in this case?

QwerkyPengwen · Feb 12, 2016

here is a build that is more or less what I'm going to get as my new replacement build for my current gaming machine. Now I believe that there won't be any problem with the GPU fitting I would like to be 100% sure and the real issue is whether or not the CPU cooler will fit properly as well.
The case in question is the Thermaltake Versa N21 which doesn't show up in PCPartPicker and that's why I'm asking here.

The GPU will easily fit. The case has a 160mm CPU cooler height limitation. The cooler is 159mm high. If available, the slightly better Cryorig H7 would provide more clearance.

You probably already have one but i wanted to make sure that you know that you will need a power supply to power that computer.

I don't see any reason not to get the evo. I always look at other peoples builds when I look at something like a cpu cooler or gpu length limitations for a case. If you look on pcpartpicker under the completed builds using the case you want you will always find something using the cooler you're thinking about 90% of the time such as this one right here https://pcpartpicker.com/b/vgM8TW.

I always just let others be the pioneers and let them test things out first before I buy something I question will fit into a case.

The Cryorig H7 is a better cooler, it provides more clearance and it only costs $10 more. It also looks better when using a case with a window.

Still don't see the reason to spend more money.

eatmypie :

The OP has to make the decision since it's his money, not yours or mine. Personally I wouldn't get the 212 Evo; it will fit with only 1mm clearance and it isn't a good looking cooler. The OP selected a nice motherboard and GPU; why install a cooler that doesn't look as nice as the other components?

Maybe they like the way the evo looks more?

Thanks for all the feedback. I really don't care too much about how the fan looks because it would be eventually replaced with liquid cooling tubes with color and lights. I was going with the EVO because it shows up in literally every single list about best coolers for price so I never knew that there was a much better option in looks and performance (and size) for only $5 more. I'm going to go with the CryoRig since it'll perform better and fit better too in the case I've selected.

Also, If you happen to have a better recommendation for a case then PM me what you think would be a better choice.

The case would have to meet these guidelines:
--be big enough to house all of my components with a little wiggle room afterwards.
--still be pretty stylish and cool looking, especially when it lights up with LED's (so it must support such a thing with viewports and gratings/grills)
--have top rated airflow design for the price
--a really good cable management system
--be made of a well rated and reviewed material
--sound suppression isn't too much of an issue as the only fans in the system will be on the PSU, on the back and on the radiator of my liquid cooling system when I'm finished upgrading over time. Also, I game with a headset so I won't even hear it to begin with.
--cost as much or less than my current choice.
