If I were to go with single rail, then which PSU? For the 1350s, the choices are 2 or 6. For the 1200s, there are three with single rails. This one looks nice.

Very nice.... that looks good.Originally Posted by zombie67
Okay, this is what I have: wishlist
Thoughts? Changes I should make?
Edit: Question about the heatsink, the H60. Where does the fan/radiator mount? In place of the rear fan? If so, is it compatible with the HAF-X? The H60 uses a 120mm fan. The fan used in the FAF-X is 140mm. I assume the mounting points for a 120mm fan are different from a 140mm fan.

You could mount up and have it vent out the top (not sure if you can do this based on where the top fan sits). And looking at the back of the HAF-X case, it looks like it has mounts for 140mm and 120mm fans, so you should be fine there.
Ok, I checked the specs for the case on NewEgg and DL'd the user manual to double check and it turns out you have a little problem.......
The HAF-X does not have any 120mm fan mounts. Anywhere. Oooops. Maxwell's suggestion of using the the rear mount location is the right one, with the addition of one of these --->>> Bgears Fan Adapter 140mm-BK. I know it states that it is for a 140mm fan but it will work just fine on a 120mm fan.
Your wishlist looks great. I really like that PSUBTW I did realize that those two 1350W PSUs were multi-rail, I just didn't want to bore anyone with a protracted theory on the design for them.
@Mr Hankey: Thx for that reminder about modular cabling. I totally spaced that Most Excellent point.

That's weird - I was nowhere near that dedicated, but when you look at the back of the HAF-X case, there are two screw mounts very close to one another. With the 140mm fan in there, the outer mounts are used - i assumed the empty inner ones were 120mm mounts.
But yea - go with that adapter. Better safe than sorry...
Dear Diary: Today Max was wrong about something..............................
It looks like you might be right Max. No way to tell for sure without measuring it, but since I don't own one..........That's weird - I was nowhere near that dedicated, but when you look at the back of the HAF-X case, there are two screw mounts very close to one another.

good call though.
Adapter! I didn't think to look for something like that, because I didn't know there was such a thing.
Okay, unless anyone has any more suggestions, I will order this later tonight.
Well, seemingly blind to the obvious, I just remembered a HAF 932 is similar to a HAF X. So I looked at the back of mine, and the 140mm fan there is mounted to the outer brackets, and the diameter for the inner brackets is ~1" less (my stupid ruler doesn't have metric on it - WTF?). With that, I'd bet those inner mounts are for a 120mm fan...It looks like you might be right Max. No way to tell for sure without measuring it, but since I don't own one..........
