Morning all!
New to the forum and was looking for advice and tips. This is going to be my 4th computer build and I understand most of the basics. This rig is going to be used for DVR, gaming and learning to OC. Here are the components I have chosen:
MB: ASUS Rampage III Extreme
CPU: Intel i7 950
GPU: EVGA GTX 470
RAM: Corsair Dominator GT 6GB (3x2GB stick) w/fan
CASE: Corsair 800D
PWR: Corsair 1000HX
SSD: Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB SATA3 (system drive)
HDD: What ever is in my current machine (data drive)
OS: Windows 7 64 Professional
Right now, I'm trying to decide on HS and fans (for HS and Case). I'm interested in putting in the Megahalems RV.B heatsink and do a push/pull configuration on the fans. Has anyone done this configuration with the HS and RAM placement? I'm afraid that there will not be enough room between the CPU and RAM for the HS fan and RAM (memory and fan).
Also, what fans would you suggestion for the case and heatsink?
Thanks!
Fitz
