I dun think there is any incompatibility. well yes there is some allowances for upgrades

IMO, your specs seems overpowering. Are you sure you need all these "horsepower"?

Besides, this casing doesn't seem to match with all these premium components you have chosen

What case would you recommend?

The rig is for full on gaming at max settings.

Nzxt s340? Sleek case.

If full on gaming, maybe u can omit out the samsung 950 pro. Wont have any difference.

Ooo, the white one looks really cool and sleek.

I wish to have OS and games on a SSD if possible. It helps with load times. Any reason why you mention no difference?

Casing wise, you might want to consider Phanteks Evolv ATX which I think many HWCers with higher budget are using it.

Actually you can still cut down on your specs even if you want to maintain at ultra settings for gaming. Personally, I think you are overspending but hey it's your $$$

nothing wrong

Casing is an aesthetic thing but 400C should be OK for GPU support as far as I am concerned

Most ATX cases nowadays now allow for longer GPUs anyway (unlike mine unless I remove my drive cage)

Agreed, casing is totally an individual preference.

Just thought it doesn't look atas coz I think TS might want his powerful rig to look satki too

well for me I dig the clean, understated design of the 400C

I think TS shares the same sentiments since TS wants to go for this case

Thanks for the info, don't mind can point out where i am overspending? Im still trying to find the right components without paying for useless branding while still having good quality parts.

 

[lifeishard]

Rich man! I do have the 400c white and using same psu. Looks is good, only complaint is the psu and 3.5" drive cover. Really very tight.

 

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

lol. @TS, since u seems like have a big budget for this build den just go for it.

Don't get the 950 pro. Get another smaller 850 pro or evo as OS.

overspending eh...

Why not consider the Maximus VIII Ranger or even MSI's Z170A Gaming M5, both of which are cheaper than the Maximus VIII Hero

Actually you can even go down to as low as the MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon, which offers what most people need IMO
SLI, M.2., OC all covered

PSU wise, hmmm now that I think about it you can go for Superflower's offerings, and if you are going single GPU max you need is like 650W and that is a bit overkill liao

GPU wise... Asus Strix or MSI Gaming up to you liao

SSD wise, 2 a bit overkill, I think 1 ok liao
In fact, scrap the 950 and use the 850 as main drive

well tbh in computer build i dun think there is always a right component. all component are right on its on as well. catering different people and their budget needs.

beside that even if u get a good branding with good quality parts, there bound to have some sudden hardware failure as well.

 

[stickyex]

Amended a few parts based on suggestions by you guys, how does it look now?
Suprising that when i compare the hero alpha and ranger, seems to be little to none difference.

Is the ram speed of 2400 good? or higher speed is reocmmended.
