Hi Guys,

I got some help of some people on the forum and thought i would have a go a speccing a computer and trying to keep everything to a colour scheme for show reasons.

Could someone check it over for me its a little over what i would like to pay and missing some things like Water cooling for the cpu, Neon Fans to show the bay through the case window and i think the colour scheme im trying to use Green / Black is probably the hardest one as i couldnt get the things to match.

Thats a great colour scheme. I like!

Few issues, You really should get dual channel RAM. a 2 X 4GB set is a lot cheaper than 1 x 8GB stick. The heatsinks on the vengeance may interfere with the CPU cooler. The vengeance LP ram is really good and doesn't have that issue.

Instead of the GTX 560ti, the 7850 may be a good option. It's not worth getting a 560ti 2GB card with the new 7*** and 6** series packing 2GB minimum.

That PSU is a bit suspect too.. Get a branded one.

Is it possible to build something a bit better with that budget??

Like I said I int mind any changes at all just would like a bit of a matched totem just or aesthetics :)
 
BitFenix Colossus Case

Hi Guys,

Im thinking of using the BitFenix Colossus Blue LED Big Tower Windowed Case for my new build anyone have any reviews on this case?

Also as for the LED's can you change the colour from the control panel or are they one colour only?

Cheers
