RadicalCookie's Build; Please Review

RadicalCookie · 12 Jan 2012 at 15:19

I have everything I need now I'd just like someone to review. It's ideally a gaming computer, but also will run Unity and 3DS Max. Is the above build alright? Don't worry about OS or Keyboard, I got that covered. I'm just worried about the case, it's out of stock currently, but can I still place an order?

Thank You!

(my apologies if I've made multiple threads, slightly panicy and excited since I'm hoping to place a final order today)

EDIT: Intending to do future upgrades: Going to crossfire 2 6950 and have an eyefinity setup, will the PSU be able to handle it?

The RAM you have selected is a bit tall, causing fitment issues with the large aftermarket cooler, this RAM will give no such issues,

The ones stulid link were 2 x 4GB. The XMS3 is great RAM, i have some.

The vengence low profile will also work and isvery popular.

The psu will handle xfire.

*facepal* Right, stupid me. thank you, I'll go for that then. But what about the case? Can I still palce an order for the case?

Your whole order will have to wait for the case, change it, or get elsewhere, or wait. You can order case seperate after main order, or phone & ask when it comes in.

Hmmm Just one more question, does the Corsair Carbide 500R Midi Tower Case Come with any fans? It says it supports them, but I'm not 100% sure.

Check out a video review,

RadicalCookie · 12 Jan 2012 at 16:45

Yeah already watched it (sorry for making you go through the trouble), he reviewd the black and white version and since both version are the same (just different colour), I can assume they both come with fans... Right?

Ryan-3 · 12 Jan 2012 at 16:52

Right, they both come with the standard fans specified
