New PC Build

Started with the Velox case, downgraded the case to the Coridium which is the Obsidian Series 450D to save a few hundred bucks. Would there be any issues with this case instead of Velox with my current set up? Set up comes out to $2,999.


Budget:
$3,000

Expectations:
Extremely fast, reliable, powerful PC that can run current and future games smoothly for years to come.

Usage:
Hardcore gaming - 8+ hours/day. Current monitor is 1080p 60hz, might upgrade to 120hz in future.

I agree with BOTA. Drop down the RAM, go back to the Velox, and up the CPU cooler to the H115i to handle the heat of a 5GHz overclock.

Originally posted by BOTA:146 Oh, and I don't know if you need WiFi or not. But that mobo does not have it, onboard

I have a 300(2.4ghz)/900(5ghz) external Wifi adapter, so all good there.

Thanks for the responses, one last question...

If I choose the upgrade on the chassis fans to the Corsair High Performance ones, will the stock fans only be replaced or will all the mounting points be filled?

For instance, the Obsidian 450D has seven fan mounting points(2 top, 2 front, 2 bottom, 1 rear) but stock build only comes with 2 front and 1 rear. Will I get all 7 fans with the upgrade?

I could almost swear I've seen this question answered before and it was a one for one. I could be wrong, though.

Alex?
