After researching for a while and watching a few videos, I've found that the Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BL will leave enough room for RAM modules with medium sized heatsinks on most motherboards such as the ones on the G.SKILL Ripjaws X RAM. However it will not leave enough room for RAM with larger...
If I could do it over, I would get the low-profile modules. However, I have already purchased the ram. I'm just wondering if I should cancel the order while I still can, or if it will fit well with some minor adjustments.
Preferably, I'm looking for an answer from someone who owns this cooler and/or the ram. Thank you!
Would 4x8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series RAM fit under the Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BL CPU Cooler? Would it need any adjusting?
Unfortunately, I've already ordered the parts, but the option to cancel is...
I would get the Phanteks PH-TC14PE, but I'm not sure it's going to fit into my Corsair Carbide 500R as it is only 8.1" wide, and a reviewer said it didn't fit into the Antec 900 which is also 8.1" wide :/
Thanks, I might get the Phanteks PH-TC14PE. Do you have any recommendations for blue or black fans that cool as well as the stock ones on the Noctua NH D14?
My case is the Corsair Carbide Series 500R and the CPU i'm getting is the i7 3770k which I plan to overclock to 4.5GHz.The RAM is Corsair Vengeance 4x4 16GB Low-Profile, and the motherboard is an ASUS Sabertooth 1155 Z77 . Currently I am thinking about the Noctua NH-D14, but the beige and...
I was thinking this motherboard is even better:

Not half as many of the DOA reviews as my current choice so I will use this one.
Yeah 1050 is ridiculous but I suppose I'll use it as its not much more and it is 80 plus gold certified.
I was looking at the Dell U2412M but was deterred by the IPS bleed on blacks and 'ghosting' so I stuck with a TN panel. Is the IPS bleed and ghosting/blurring really that bad?
I will get...
RE birthdaymonkey
I agree it is a cheap monitor. I have seen it in person and IMO it looks amazing for the price (loads better than my current laptop screen). I was thinking of getting a different mobo. What do you suggest for a different monitor and motherboard? I'm open for suggestions but I...
RE mefenn
Also if you do leave this up then please consider deleting your quotes. I see how one could interpret that as a bad attitude and I have changed my posts to not sound so arrogant. I assure you that was not the tone I had in mind when I typed those. I am looking into changing some...
RE mfenn
Let's not start an argument here. You are clearly more knowledgeable about PCs than me. The place where you say that this is in the title which is "Attention mid-range system builders" But I did misspeak as the system is definitely good for gaming. Sorry, I will edit my post.
I am...

RE aaksheyatalwar
I need a relatively cheap monitor.The Dell ST2220L has lots of 5 star reviews, almost no negative reviews, and its only $140. If you can inform me of a monitor around $200 that is better I will look at it and if I like it, I will get it. Thank you :)
RE PhoenixEnigma
SLI IS overkill and I most likely will not use it but I just want to be safe. If I need to lower the price of the build, I will get a 750w PSU. I am not too familiar with the 'check it at the door' expression, but I have heard of 'check your attitude at the door' and I don't...
RE OVerLoRDI
The exteme 6 seems like a great motherboard for overclocking and its a great price, but reading the reviews I found it isnt as reliable as the sabertooth. I would rather pay more for a bit more reliability, thermal 'armor', and 5 year warranty. The extreme 6 is great though and I...
RE Ken g6
Thank you for the suggestion. The build you linked me to is great I will consider changing some of my parts to the ones in that build. I am not worried about weight/size of the case but more about durability and enough room for large components, good cable management, etc.
RE PhoenixEnigma
Thank you so much for your input! I would get a 750w PSU but want to be safe in case I want to upgrade to SLI and overclock (is 750w still ok?). I changed OS, CPU, and RAM Please review my edits :) You saved my $62 and I have a better CPU and RAM Thanks again!
Thank you all for your input! All my issues were resolved and I have much better parts at less cost now :) I most likely will not change anything else.
I will use this PC to game, edit video (Adobe After Effects), and do graphics design among other things almost every day, bring it to LAN...
