(Though he already just ordered it today so I need to hurry up with this lol) After hearing me brag about Digital Storm a months back guess he had the chance to order lol. Either way I'll just coordinate here and redirect whatever is said here. Also for proof if anyone needs. I have the receipt/order # from him if you want further proof. Ok anyways to cover the major categories. Processor is fine, Motherboard is fine, RAM is good (he does GIMP? Whatever that is, it's a image editing so the RAM is justified) For the Power Supply, is the default 1000W fine? I don't think the full load will go over 1000W, unless of course it does, and if so then I guess the 1200W doesn't need to be changed. For the Hard drive meant for OS installation and so on. I suppose for fastest performance on a SINGLE hard drive this should be changed to Intel's no? Internet Access: Killer Xeno Pro. Even with two 295s this thing CAN fit along with the sound card right? Everything else should be fine though my friend just made sent a message to customer services. "In the order I recently made, I overlooked two issues that I noticed shortly after placing the order. I had accidentally selected, for Internal Lighting, White when I wanted it to instead be Red. The Liquid Color, that I had as Red, I would instead like to be Black. I also selected, as the primary harddrive, one 256GB Corsair. I would instead like a 160GB Intel." Now just wondering though. For the internal lighting at least, he can turn it off right? Not sure about the LED fans having a switch. That should be it for now, is there anything else that is cause for concern or needs to be discussed. (Sound card comes to mind, but I don't know how Windows 7 works so -shrugs- ) |

1000w should be fine, he is getting dual loop LC and then he is gonna put loud fans on the case?
don't oc the ram or gpus. he should go with a 920, he will not notice any performance difference between 920 and 975 at 4.0GHz. Killer Xeno Pro will do nothing but cost money. |

I believe all of our lighting has a switch available.
Classified board will fit the sound card and the xeno. |

Also I don't think the fan controller is needed. And I'll discuss with him if he really wants the extra fans (unless they can all be silent type fans)
