I have some questions about this pc build.

dborboa619 · Sep 2, 2016

Hey guys I'm looking to build a gaming computer but I have some questions and hopefully you guys can help. This is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/cFrgbj and I want to know if the graphics card will fit inside this case, I also want to know if I'll be able to OC my CPU with this motherboard and how much I'll be able to OC it with this CPU Cooler.

Thanks in advance.

The card will fit no problem, even with the drive cages left in place. It's only 10.5 inches long and the case supports cards up to 14.33 inches long. No overclcoking with a B150 motherboard unless it's Asrock's Hyper series. You really need a Z170 chipset board. The Cryorig H7 cooler would be better for overclocking and will fit the case. You need to add an SSD for the OS system as well, no reason not to be using one at this level of build.

A little cheaper option, still overclockable.
