So this is going to be my first build and I've been doing some research and am feeling pretty confident about it now.
The one thing I am wondering is about the case. It looks like it has amazing air control, so if I plan to overclock later down the road will I need the Hyper 212 EVO I am ordering or will all the airflow management and stock fan work just fine? And it looks amazing, but will this hold my graphics card? I saw a review and it came pretty narrow with a guy using an 11", and mine is 11.4"
Other than that, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
