    Question 3XS Performance GTK SLI - new build questions

    new build but a few questions i need help with.

    my current system (p4) is inside a pedastal unit with an open back and drop down front which is the main reason for the choice of case (as well as looking good) will the water cooler and graphics card be ok in this enviroment?. i want the pc to be used for a lot of different things (video capture, dvd/bd burning, driving games and a media centre).
    is the power supply a good match for the chosen spec.
    i have built my own pc in the past but i have decided to treat myself to a scan 3xs system as i know it will be built by people who care about what they sell.

    Hi Mark,

    Looks a quality machine and it'll be very well suited for your tasks and should run nice and quiet too.

    The graphics card selected will be fine inside that tower, there's plenty of good airflow in the Fractal towers and you can build on this by adding an extra 120mm Akasa fan, that's the only thing I'd amend on that spec.


    Hope this helps,

    All the best

    Re: 3XS Performance GTK SLI - new build questions

    lee
    will the corsair h100 fit inside the case or is just too big? and where would the extra fan go (at the front or at the back)
    mark

    edit sorry to muck you around lee but i have now ordered my system with help from carl. i changed the case to a coolermaser haf912+ with the h100 cooler and the graphics card to the asus 2gb gtx670.

    mark
