Reddit mentions of Samsung SATA 1.5 Gb-s Optical Drive, Black SH-224DB/BEBE

Thanks so much! Yeah I have the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Operating System, big ups for making sure though! If this helps any further determining whether my disk drive comes with cables, here's the link to it:

$54 is a bit over what I would like to spend on a cooler, but if that's what I have to do to prevent my CPU from overheating then I'm going to do that; thanks so much for your help! Let me know a little more about the Optical Drive. New to this stuff by the way (if you haven't noticed), otherwise I'd be doing this all myself! hahaha Hopefully soon I'll be a natural with this stuff.

This most definitely helped and I look forward to your reply man!

The 980, on 1080p, with liquid cooling.

I'm having trouble getting 1440p to work with the 980. That said, the 970 can run 1440p. I looked around, and that's the consensus. So another option is...

The 970, on 1440p, with standard cooling.

I had to swap cases and take out the H100i to skimp a couple bucks. Either way, find a case you personally like. Any ATX Mid Tower case should do. Just keep in mind that you might have to pull out some drive bays to fit the GPU depending on the case, but that shouldn't be a huge issue.

Either build works. If you go with the second one, down the line, you can upgrade the graphics card to SLI (just buy the same card and plug it in. Look up SLI for more info). An SLI 970 will trump the 980. That said, you could go with the first one, and down the line pick up a 1440p monitor, and use the 1080p as a second monitor. My current set up has both of these monitors on a 980.

So it's really up to you. The one thing I strongly suggest is getting a Razer Mouse Pad for the DeathAdder Chroma. The DeathAdder will sync up with their specific mouse pads, and give you better, and personalized, tracking, depending on the mouse pad. I personally use a Razer Goliath Control mouse pad. You can find them on Amazon with a quick search. They're pretty inexpensive.

Personally, go with the first one. Change up the case to find one that fits your style. Swap the cooler for the second builds cooler if you need an extra 50 bucks for your case. You don't NEED the H100i. You can go without 1440p, and just be able to upgrade in the future and have dual monitors. Or even upgrade to 2 980's if a game comes out that is just super duper ultra graphics intensive.

Now just as a final note, both of these builds are missing an optical drive. The optical drive is completely optional, being that you can use a flash drive to boot your OS. This is part 2 of a series I highly recommend you watch. I timestamped the part where he shows how to USB boot windows. Again, I highly recommend the whole series. All that said, an optical drive is 17 bucks on Amazon. So if you got an extra 10 dollars, and don't want to use a USB to load windows, that is an option as well.

I ordered this - https://www.simplecom.com.au/simplecom-sc501-desktop-pc-5-25-bay-accessories-storage-box-drawer.html

But the problem is it is not going in fully, protruding out 1.5 inch. There are small pins inside that is blocking it to go in fully. The workstation is a HP Z620, any idea how to solve this?

Edit:

Found the solution, click on Optical bay filler tray on the left side menu of this page - https://h20464.www2.hp.com/resultsCSR.htm?prodSeriesId=5225037&MEID=D3D83FB9-8F58-4581-BD6C-F6E41A27BE13

Now the problem is, the drawer goes in fully but the release latch is stcuk as the pins inside cannot go in due to the fact that the drawer do not have additional top holes. Here is pics of Optical drive bay with additional top holes - https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Optical-Drive-SH-224DB-BEBE/dp/B00CE58ZYC

Solution? This drawer model is very popular in Australia, I wonder how do people are using it. Even your linked one do not have top holes.
