Hi guys i am new here nice to meet you all now i am building a "i7 8700k Asus ROG Strix Gaming PC" this is my first build i am very super hype so i also need some tips here the parts i am using. (Also please note that there are some parts i don't have yet.)
1: Corsair Carbide Spec-04 Mid tower Gaming case (grey version) "Have it"
2: Asus ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming Motherboard (Intel version) "Don't have it yet"
3: Intel i7 8700k Cpu "Don't have it yet"
4: Cooler master Hyper 212 evo cpu fan "Don't have it yet"
5: Corsair Vengeance 32gb ddr4 ram (4x8 sticks) "Don't have it yet"
6: Asus Geforce Gtx 1070 8gb ROG Strix GPU "Don't have it yet"
7: 3.5 4 TB Hard Drive (or 6 TB) "Don't have it yet"
8: 2.5 500gb ssd drive "Don't have it yet"
9: Power supply (still did not decide) "Don't have it yet"
Now i have some "Question" and i need some tips so i hope someone i can help me.
Question #1: The case i got look nice there is one little flaw in it the top of the case does not have a dust cover i am investing to get two 120 mm dust covers for that area also i worry about air flow because i want to ad two 120 mm fans up there can anyone recommend any type of dust cover that would be best ????
Question #2: I notice the case only have one fan in it so i am removing that fan and getting 5 new 120mm fans i place 2 fans in the front, 2 fans on the top, 1 fan in the rear. Now the fan i am getting maybe are corsair air series sp 120 Led Green fans or some cooler master rgb 120 mm fans now i can decide witch to go with, the corsair look super it would give my tower a interesting look as for the cooler master rgb fans they can sync with aura sync i can give a green glow plus ad some beat when i play music on my pc and make it breathe to make it come to life man the possibility are endless what do guys think i should get ???
Question #3: Now like the fans i am going with corsair rgb ram sticks they are 3200mhz (Model CMR16GX4M2C3200C16) i have no idea if they will work with the aura sync of the motherboard i chose ????
Question #4: The Gpu i chose Asus Geforce Gtx 1070 8gb ROG Strix i have like no idea if the gpu will fit in my build ???
Question #5: I have three question about the cpu fan 1: Will this cpu fan block some ram slots ??? 2: I want to place two fans in the top area will the cpu fan i chose give enough space two fan there ??? 3: The cpu fan has one fan is it a good idea to ad a second fan to it ????
Question #6: Now the ssd and the hdd drives, i have two programs "Big fish Games" and "Steam Games" the rig i am building is for games ONLY!!! anyway i am using a 3.5 hdd 4TB drive for my steam games (hope it will have enough space) and 2.5 ssd 500GB drive i using it for my big fish games, now the ssd drive i have no idea if i should go with 500GB or 2TB or again should i buy a other 4TB to install window 10 and my big fish games what do you guys think ????
Question #7: Now finally the power supply i have no idea what to buy should i buy a 750w one or higher to run all my parts ???
Now that all the question i have for now i hope someone can help me.
