I am building a pc for my friend I know allot about it, just wanted to ask a quick question.
I am building a pc, Corsair Carbide Spec-03 ATX/Micro ATX/Mini ITX Computer Case with White LED
With a FM2 Atx motherboard, also a 8320 with a r9 280.
I am going to use a Cooler Master 212 Evo for the cooling, now this is the question, I have some spare h100i fans that I am going to donate to him and another 140mm corsair fan from a 750d.
What I plan to do is mount the two 120mm fans on the top, and the 140mm in the back for exhaust and remove the stock 120mm exhaust fan.
Now will this all fit just asking anyway thanks for all the help that will be appreciated.
First problem that i can see is that you are putting an AM3+ CPU on a FM2 socket motherboard, won't work. You will need an AM3+ socket motherboard for that CPU and one that has good VRM so your CPU won't throttle. Bare minimum for that CPU would be an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 or the evo version of that,but if you want to overclock it, i would consider something like an ASUS M5A99FX R2.0
Just rememver to buy a good motherboard for that cpu or you might end up with a fried motherboard...
To make sure your parts are compatible, make a list on pcpartpicker.com
It will tell you if there are incompatibilities. Once you do, you can share the link with us and we can make some more recommendations :D
Sorry wrong typo, I am using this, Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
This is the build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TThDkL
I havent listed stuff like the monitor, fans, headphones, keyboard and etc as its moreless what he wants for it, this is just the important stuff.
It also says the cooler wont work, can u recommend a similar cooler for this build.

The LE mobo lacks VRM cooling, 99.99% sure you will ether get CPU throttling or fry your motherboard

^- you can use this... it will function :P

^- but this is the baseline I would recommend for an octacore CPU... if you're feeling froggy the PRO and Sabertooth have better VRMs, though they both cost a good bit more...
