This is not micro-atx, please reply if you know what you're doing.

Also Rahail, I suggest that you wait till they announce Nvidia's Pascal and w/e AMD announces so the videocards prices go down after announcement.
This will be in June if I remember correctly so very soon.

What are your specs right now so I know what to upgrade?

your budget in $$$ or €€€ please :P

Like quota said wait till nvidia announces their new gpu lineup. till then you can stick your gtx 650 into the new config and get a new gpu later.

This comes around 470$ without the gpu ( prices may be different in HK )

This is good. Just make sure that CPU cooler will fit your case, it's kinda tall. Wait until June for new GPUs to release before buying a new one as prices will go down on older ones.

You don't quite need a 750W powersource for what you have there, I have a 600W PS and what I have is

Case - Segotep Chariot TF
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-B85-HD3-A
CPU - Intel Haswell Refresh, Core i5 4590 3.3GHz box
GPU - GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 950 WindForce 2X OC 2GB DDR5 128-bit
RAM -  HyperX Savage 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit
Hard Disk - Seagate Desktop HDD 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA-III
Powersource - Sirtec - High Power Element BRONZE II 600W

I got this somewhere at the price of ~680 euros so yea at the price of 800-900 euros you can build a beast.

The 750W PSU leaves room for future upgrades. EVGA is also reliable so the whole thing won't explode.

Agree DDR4 is on par price wise with DDR3

Will Hyper 212 EVO fit in this case? If no please suggest me another one. Thanks

Mid-size ATX
Title: Re: PC build help
Post by: Matias on May 05, 2016, 17:21
It will fit, but will be really closer to the limits.
Hyper 212 EVO is 159mm tall and your case is 165mm wider.

Yeah my case is 219mm wide and the 212 EVO just about fits, so the room behind the motherboard, standoffs and the motherboard itself counts.

What case do you have Rahail?

If you have an OEM case like that then I would be replacing the case as well. As normally they design adequate airflow in the cases only for that particular line of systems
