I would change the RAM for this one

Not only is it going to end up cheaper but will leave 2 slots open in your mobo for future expansion.

And you might not need the aftermarket CPU heatsink with the A900 case, plus you might want to ask the A900 owners in here if that fan will hit the case door.

good find on the RAM. I thought one of the reviews I read said that the CPU cooler would fit the case but I will put the question out to the LoS members that have this case what the think.

Case cools more than nicely at all the fans running at low speed. You don't really need the CPU cooler unless you plan to do some overclocking. Sure, it will fit in the case, but its just a matter of if you really need it or not =)

ok, looks like I save $50 by using the stock cooler.

If you plan to oc you should just buy an arctic cooler 7 it willd o the job pretty good and it gost like 18bucks maybe less in the states, unless you are planning to do massive OCING it will be more than perfect.

I'm not planning to OC this rig.

having recently just built a new pc using the a900 case theres bags of room the cpu cooler should fit without ne issues

i have nt fitted a fan to the side door yet but theres adequte clearnce on it from the dual g/cards fitted

only thing i did nt like about mine was one of my power cables was too short to feed around the case but wasnt a major issue just a preference of keeping cables away from hardware
