First, determine which components you want to use in your GT3 Chassis. Refer to the below guidelines to select components for your GT3 build:
- CPU/Heatsinks - All current CPUs are fully compatible with GT3. GTR Recommends using heatsinks/thermal solutions supplied with the CPU.
- Motherboard - ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards with PCI-Express x16 Slot in position #6 or Slot #7. Not sure if the motherboard you want to use will work? Send us the make and model number and we will gladly check it for you. *Many*, many motherboards utilize connectors in Slot #6 or #7.
- Memory - GT3 accommodates memory sizes up to and including 1.7” in height. This includes most memory available in the market today. Memories modules with protruding heatsinks are not recommended.
- Graphics Card - single or dual slot, up to 9" and select 9.5" length cards, with two or less 6-pin power connectors.
- PCI Add-In Card - Any PCI add-in card, such as a sound card, or network card.
- Hard drive - GT3 supports up to two, one in the hidden drive bay, the other in the Feature Module. Note, the second hard drive occupies the space of the PCI Add-In Card. Thus, GT3 builds can have one or the other - a second hard drive, or a PCI-Add in card.
- Slim CD - GTR Recommends a SATA Slim CD.
Second, be sure to check out GTR's Technical Whitepapers for information on a few typical GT3-PC builds, along with technical data on those builds. Each Technical Whitepaper also includes links to Newegg's product page for components used in each build. A great way to build a GT3-PC with tried-and-true component configurations:
- AMD Phenom II 965 GT3 PC Whitepaper - "aEnthusiast Phenom II 965"
- Intel Core i7 GT3 PC Workstation Whitepaper - "iProfessional"
- AMD Phenom II GT3 PC Gaming PC Whitepaper - "aEnthusiast"
