Need help with my build.

Forum Overclocking : General Discussion Need help with my build.

Is the power supply enough?
Is the fan enough for the processor?
Do I need anything else? more fans?
Would this case work?

Yep everything is compatible.
Ram made for 1155 platform = 1.5v
G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB)

The 300 is a great case but makes for a messy cable install.= no cable management.
Unless you modify a hole or two (holesaw or dremel).
Other cases i'd consider = cable management and USB3
