Hi,

Would someone with experience please cast an eye over the below and just let me know if everything is ok with it?? I appreciate the site tells me that the components are compatible, but I have literally just read a post which states the case I have chosen had problems with a particular cooling unit not fitting in properly and didn't find out until he received it. Just wanna check that everything below will fit and work as it should be I take the plunge.

Cheers

If you could let us know what you will be using the machine for it would help us give useful comments on your choice of components :)

Farming Simulator 2013. But like I said, I am relatively sure the components will manage to run the game well enough. But since reading the post about the cooling and case fan problems its got me worried.

I think that was the case with the titan cpu cooler which it is not available anymore. Do you have a budget?

I do indeed. Which to be fair, I have already exceeded. Unless you have some good news and I can reduce the price of the machine I currently have a quote for
(£730.00)

You could probably get a similar AMD spec and save some money by choosing the FX-6300/FX-4170 instead.

are these the AMD equivalent to the GTX650 Ti then? .... But going back to my original query, this spec will be safe etc? The case is of a sufficient size for the components to go in?

Ok mate.... Thanks for the advice. I will have a quick tweak of what you have suggested & if there is a decent difference, then I think I will probably go for your option. I have no preference between AMB/Intel. To me its just a name.
