AMD A10-6800K APU
ASUS A85 XM-A MATX mobo
Leadtek GTX 670
Seasonic 520W M12

Fortunately a trip to SLS solved the problem...

So it continues... removing the cooler to apply my own thermal paste.

Not the best of the market.. but it does a decent job!

Attaching back the cooler.

Installing the 670

It runs!

Is there no space behind the motherboard tray to run your cables nicely? it would help in cooling and since this is a windowed case, looks nicer too.

Why get a window case when you don't manage the cables properly?

He has nice cables lol.
Anyway he did try tucking the cables in.

If you think his is bad, have you seen on youtube how people show off their A30I.. cables everywhere...

This is mine both left and right window.

Well no worries if you want to do it just google around lots of tips and guides. Will post mine once it's ready!

At first I though there was no routing holes in the casing then realise there are. Would be better if you have make use of the 3 routing holes to route the cable to the back of the casing for better air flow and nice look through the window. But still very good well done job for a first time build
