whats going on people I have a project in mind that im going to be doing this moth and I need some help this is going to be the first computer I've ever built its going to be AMD based because its cheaper than nvidia. heres the parts list I chose

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FHVtLk

now right now im not sure if i want to go with the amd fx 8350 or the fx 9590 I heard that you have to water cool the 9590 but im not planing to over clock so would that cooler I chose the Cooler Master Hyper 212 work for ether processor?

now in a few months I plan on cross firing the r9 290 and I dont know witch case I should get because I want a decent amount of room in it for airflow so its not too hot so whats a good case?

Hello MagicAmmo, from what i know the best case for airflow is the Corsair Air 450 at the moment which you can get to through the Apollo configuration by changing the Chassis Model or here is the link to the build that i made for you based on the parts list https://www.digitalstormonline.com/configurator.asp?id=1043282

I would go for the i5 4670 instead and pay the few dollars more for better performance.

Course you could get a Phantom 820 in black and have the lighting set to red, it can hold 3 gpus from what i have seen on the pcpartpicker customer pictures. If you choose either cases i listed you can have DS custom order the case for a small fee i believe.
