Hi all, I've been a long time lurker and am a bit over my head in an MC600 build. I've been following zovc and TekEverything's guides and threads but am a bit hesitant to take a drill/saw to my case. Here's my spec:


Case: Logic Supply MC600

Mobo: Gigabyte Z370N

CPU: intel i5 8400

GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6GB single fan (not SC edition), I have not installed this yet

DC-ATX: HD Plex 400W

RAM: 2x4gb 2400mhz corsair ddr4

CPU Cooler: Currently stock, but I've ordered an Noctua NH-9li

Case Fans: 2 x Noctua 60x25mm fans (I also have 2 60x10mm from the stock and startech)

SSD: Samsung 960 evo nvme ssd


OK now to the questions:

1. Which way should I orient the graphics card?

2. Should I drill holes or make cutouts for ventilation?

3. If yes to #2, what tool should I use. I currently own an old 4.5v cordless drill and have access to a rotary tool (like a dremel).


My goals on this PC are mainly general productivity and moderate entertainment (AAA games at med-high setting)

I've looked around in the forum for answers but with so many people doing different things, I was wondering if somebody could let me know what might work best in my situation.


Thanks!
