So I’m building a PC and decided on the MOBO/CPU and want to just throw the rest together for now with basic parts that I can upgrade over time.

I need advice on a basic PSU/Case/Cooling system.

Here’s what I’ve got going for the rest of it:

CPU/MOBO/RAM

CPU: i7-5820k
MOBO: MSI X99
RAM: 16GB (in the combo above)

SDD: Still deciding on specific one

GPU x 2 (Some older ones I have already)

GPU x 2: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 560 Ti

PSU: ??
Case: ?? (How do I know what size will fit my MOBO?)
Fans/Cooling: ??

I’ve got the peripherals and I’m just looking for some basic stuff to finish off the PC for now. I’m not sure how big of a power supply I should get, and what cooling system will be sufficent.

Lastly I can look around at cases but I’m not sure how to tell what cases will fit what mobos since there’s difference sizes of both.

Any advice or input?

Thanks!

That mobo is ATX, which means that it requires a case that supports a full ATX motherboard- basically a mid or full tower. I’d personally get a Fractal Design R5 or a Corsair 450D or something along those lines; as long as it lists “ATX” in its form factor compatibility list it’ll be fine.

As for a PSU, I would recommend the one I have or something similar. Mine’s only semimodular, but you’ll need all of the nonmodular cables anyways. You just want something high quality. I’d go with 750+ Watts just in case you go CF/SLI again in the future.

As for a cooler, an H100i would be a good pick. For fans, a couple of quiet but high airflow 120MM fans would be a nice boost, I really don’t know what to suggest specifically but a total of 3-4 120MM case fans will get you into a nice place.

Thanks! It’s good to know about the ATX thing! And I’ll check out that other hardware too!
