Yeah get the TX3, I don';t think the Hyper 212 EVO will fit in there.
Like Rapture said... The TX3 is easier to install, no back plate required. The TX3 will just attach right to the existing motherboard cooler brackets.


/e ...and buy a damn ruler. :D


Right on, lol and yeah I have no idea where a ruler or tape measure is haha.

So I bought the Hyper TX3 and some Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste, now I jus gotta wait on newegg to send me my stuffs

Well at least thats easy to change.
The RX 480 would be perfect in your build :)

Go into the BIOS and make sure you have the CPU fan speed set to 100%.

Yeah, get the AMD RX 480, when it comes out in a couple weeks... and you'll be good to go for a while yet.

Don't get an RX 480 yet.
No custom designs available and the original AMD design is as crappy as it can be.
Too loud, too hot and therefore not much room for improvement via OC and also a good chance to damage your motherboard by running it.

Not to mention the benchmarks and reviews so far look pretty mediocre. It's about the same as a GTX 970, which you can get pretty cheap at the moment.
