    Hopefully this will be the final time I will be doing this... I have a build im looking to buy but I need your help with two things! I need to know if 1. All these parts are compatible with each other and 2.I need help choosing a case. Im looking for a case that will obviously fit all of these parts in it, have a side window and also have a red colour scheme. It cant be too expensive tho thats the only issue. I was looking at this case :CiT Vanquish Gaming Toolless Case with USB3 Port, Side Window, Card Reader and 2 x 12CM Red Led Fans on amazon but Im not sure if my parts will fit... any help?

    Here is the build:
    Graphics Card: 2048MB MSI GeForce GTX 950 Gaming 2G Aktiv
    RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro Series rot DDR3
    Hard Drive: 1000GB WD Blue WD10JPVX 8MB 2.5" (6.4cm)
    CPU Cooler: Xilence M403 Tower Kühler
    Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro Gamer Gaming MB Intel Z97
    CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 4x 3.40GHz So.1150 BOX

    Need help choosing a PSU Also... im using mindfactory to purchase all this so there would be preferable.

    Any tips or changes are appreciated but just incase you couldnt tell im going for a red and black themed build and it will be used for gaming and also animation/photo editing! I need her to last.

    Fill out the template. You'll get much better help there. Build looks to have a lot of last gen products, any reason for this?

    I did make this a while ago and put off the whole PC scene for a while... I'm also trying to keep the price between 700/800 euro so that's another reason .

    2.5inch hard drives are for laptops. The equivalent 3.5inch desktop drive will most likely be cheaper so you can save some money there. Also, a solid state drive will give you a performance boost.

    Why the Xeon processor? Overkill for most consumers but I'll wait for you to use the template before we can make a recommendation based on your needs.
