Hello~~

MOBO + CPU: Gigabyte H97M-D3H / i5 4690

OS: Window 7 64 Bit

HDD: 3.5" Seagate 7200 rpm 1TB

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 4gb (ITX) Winforce

RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM x2

CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212X PWM Cooler

PSU: Cooler Master Thunder 600W

Casing: Corsair Carbide 200R ATX w/window or CM HAF 912(Advanced) w/USB3


1) are those parts(other then OS) competible?

2) which casing is more recommended?

 

[royfrosty]

A bit weird config.

Swap the ITX version of GTX970 to a normal 970.

Go for 8gb instead of 4gb only. Either a 4gbx2 or a single 8gb.

Swap out the PSU to a better brand and more reliable PSU.

Such as Seasonic, FSP, Superflower.

Check this out to choose a suitable PSU. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

As its like the heart of your whole system you would want to get a reliable one as you don't want it to bring other components down as well when it fails.

When was Superflower known as a reliable PSU brand? I know FSP is to a certain extent, but only their Aurum series.

When it comes to PSU, I only swear by Seasonic or Antec

Superflower psu pretty solid

That was the beginning. Now most stores should carry in. Tech Dynamic is the distro.
