    Looks very good to me, the Haf-X has the option of an additional fan on the top. You could add a megaflow 200mm for better cooling.

    Hey rubensolo, thanks for your feedback, you say i could add a megaflow fan, i couldnt see any options to purchase extra fans, would this require me to buy them off a different website? Thank you.

    Yes, you need to buy them from a different retailer. I purchased mine online and sent it to PCS, they were able to fit it for me.

    It looks good, however it depends on what games you are planning to play. The high end titles allays require more powerful graphics cards (that said however, yours it pretty high end and should be able to take on the vast majority of the newer titles)

    The GTX 670 should be able to max many games at decent fps in 1 screen. The motherboard and psu should also allow you to add another GTX 670 in the future.
