Case/heatsink/etc

[scottish]

Well in a month or so so I'm gonna buy some stuff and need others

Basically so far I have;

Keyboard: Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard
Router: Asus RT-N66U Black Diamond Dual-Band wireless-N900
Graphics card: Sapphire HD 6950 OC "Dual Fan Edition" 2048MB GDDR5
Case: ...
PSU: ...
Heatsink: ...
Fans: ...
Fan controller: Lamptron FC5 V2 5.25" Bay Fan Controller - Black

So basically, adding another 6950 so will need a new PSU as I doubt a corsair 650W will handle 2 6950s and currently using stock heatsink as I never bothered otherclocking, so will be changing that and ofc need some nice quiet fans to go with the case.

Currently got NZXT M59 and don't like it so going to replace the case as well.

Case needs to have a see through side panel, quiet a few fan slots, if possible has hot swap dock for hdds.

Suggestions?

A corsair 650w should be fine for two 6950's.

If you want to be sure then you could go with an 850w for futureproofing but most stuff coming out now is all power saving focussed so I doubt we'll see many 1000w system requirements for graphics cards in the future.

Anything Corsair branded would be great.

Case fans you should take a look at the new corsair series of fans called "Corsair Air Series".

The general consensus is buy corsair everything

Why are you going for two 6950s? One 6950 should run anything you throw at it just fine

Two 6950s should improve FPS in games as i'm using 5760x1080

Was planning on getting everything from OCUK, not sure if they're stocking the new corsair fans as they don't have them atm.

Any suggestions on heatsink?

May look at a 850w corsair

Fair enough, lucky sod with multi monitor

I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket in terms of OcUK, they're pretty expensive and you can normally knock a far chunk off your final build price even with extra shipping costs from other sites. For the CPU Heatsink I'd highly recommend a Corsair A50

[scottish]

Yeah I usually use ebuyer/aria/ocuk and mix between them, but if im buying the main parts from OcUK i'd prefer to throw in the fans through ocuk as well rather than ordering just fans from another site

any suggestions on case?

Was looking at Xigmatek Elysium before but would prefer HDD rack positioned differently (so the opening to HDD bays would be at side panel) and not a fan of the 2 bits down front

Coolermaster CM 690 II. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...id=7&subcat=29

Get some BitFenix orange fans in the front and the case. Looks **** hot
