Hey guys,

As you can see on my right panel, I have this Coolermaster K350 case. And the cable management room in this case is so minimal. I have cables and wires all over my mobo and gpu. The airflow is bad. I made a very wrong choice by buying this cheap casing. Any recommendation for a case with much better cable management room?

And also the stock fan that came with the cpu is very noisy. Any suggestion for a quiet, reliable CPU cooler?

One last thing, I am planning to get a Cosair Dominator 1600mhz 2x8GB to get the best performance from football manager which brings me to another concern. Is my current FSP Gold 500W still enough after all these upgrades?

Thanks in Advance.

Jake. :D

theres a guy selling a brand new nezt 410 for 79 at garage sale, pretty good casing. ur psu good enough. air cooler can just can any six copper pipes cooler, water cooler decide on casing than decide which one, nezt 410 can.

8gb not enough for you to load multiple leagues in fm2013? then just get any 2x8 will do.

Looking at your setup, I don't think your system is drawing anywhere near the potential of the PSU that you are using, unless its some unbranded cheap PSU, which is not for your case.

Casing, I like the Fractal Design Arc Mini. Nice and sleek casing, with good airflow and cable management.

As for ram, save your money pal. I don't think there will be a noticeable performance improvement. There will be improvement, but not significant enough to pay that much more. Faster rams tend to help improve gaming performance, IF you are using integrated graphics. But this is also not the case for you. ;)

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will go with Arc mini. Does it have a good cable management space?

How about the cpu cooler? Any particular brand/model that is quiet and reliable? I don't think I need watercooling as I never o/c my gpu or cpu.
