Just Looking for a bit of feedback on the rig I plan to build in a few weeks.

looks good, With the z77 board they are able to take the 1024Mb X 64 ram chip set http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=47D63A8EA5CA7304 or just go with the QVL list,

Looks a good build!

Just a few things; You've gone for a full tower case and a Micro ATX motherboard. I mean, whilst they're perfectly compatible, it just seems a strange combination.

Also, have you considered going for a better CPU cooler? The Noctua 'D14 and the NZXT Havik 140 are both top of their class. Again, the cooler you've gone for is perfectly compatible, but I don't think you'd be able to yield as high an overclock. That is, if you are planning to overclock...

And, my last query, have you thought about either the HX or AX ranges from Corsair? Better power efficiency and Semi/Full modular goodness.

Any case you would recommend?

 

[Josh Weston]

I can't say that I have the experience to recommend you any cases. But, there are plenty of reviews etc. on here, so have a look through and see what you like. Like I say, there's nothing wrong with pairing the two together, it just seems a little strange to me

If the s**t fits keep it, I say

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]BitFenix Colossus Blue LED Big Tower Windowed Case Nice case[/font]

looks fine to me, i wouldn't recommend asrock but it'll work and cm hyper evo 212 is not a bad heatsink but i would get something better than that

Looks fine. Have you considered the Silverstone TJ-08? a nice little good looking case

what is your budget mate?

Personally I would go with an ATX board in a full tower case.

If you really want that case, go for it, but I would suggest the CM Storm Trooper

As board, I think you should get the Z77 Extreme 4 (ATX Board).

And if you have the money I think you should aim for the AX750 or HX750

But nonetheless, everything seems good

Good luck with your build mate
