Can't find an HD7870? R9 270 is best equivalent to HD7870:

Nice build man! How are mini towers with temperatures btw? better or not?

Nice build-! I love this little Ranger-M case I just built one myself last month. It has great minimalist looks and can be made to cool well if configured right. I made things difficult for myself by using an Arctic Freezer 7 pro CPU cooler I already had that was a bit big/thick, so the build had to be in a specific order. The Arctic coolers have proprietary deep fans and the tower on this one has deep fins as well - but that's not the cases fault micro ATX cases are just a little harder to work in. But I needed the small case size and I am very pleased with my build,. Just a note to anyone needing to know, like most small cases not much room for cable management but be sure to make use of the space above the power supply and above the dvd rom, every inch of cable space is gold and using those areas really helps, and use a modular supply if possible. I actually have the previous version of this same Gigabyte motherboard with a Phenom II quad core and Sapphire HD7770 video card so nothing special but I like how the build came out in such a small budget case.

Would 4 regular sized ram sticks on a matx board fit in this thing? Also would the Hyper 212 EVO tower style heatsink fit this without the side case touching it?
-
Hello! I ordered a hyper tx3, do you think it will fit in the case? It has the same installation as the tx3 just 92mm pwm fan. Please respond.w

Hey buddy I just put my pc together, being on a budget, I noticed you bought a Dell Windows 7 Oem, is that like a reinstallation disk? I guess you can install it in any computer?
-
Hi, I am planning on buying a 101a.. Is it required to add a back plate, or is the install just putting on the clips and then twisting the lever?
-
Hi! I have the same case and motherboard! I also ahve the fx4300, and a gtx 650ti ssc 2gb gddr5. I am having an issue where my fans are running at 100% all the time. How did you fix this? Also, there is only one 3 pin on the motherboard, so how did you plug them in? I used a 3 pin splitter. Did you use molex? I also have cx430 watt by corsair. Help would be appreciated.
-
does the case come with motherboard screws?
-
how long is that graphics card? will an asus direct cu II card fit in the case? it's 11 inches long
-
Would this board look pretty inside a 350D window with a h100i cooler? :3
-
