He said there was a problem with the build, but didn't say what?   I'd ask him.   From here, like I said before, the memory fan kit doesn't go but maybe the psu.    Or the Raid setup?

Maybe Alex or Nav can check for you.

Let us know.

Hey everyone,

I sent an email to John, about if he could point out the errors in my config, just waiting for a reply. Still if you're an employee please do the same.

Sincerely,

Hi KingHeikir,

Thank you for choosing Digital Storm! I checked the email with John, he was waiting to hear back from you on your full shipping address so he can give you a quote with options.

I'll let him know that you were still curious on what is wrong with the setup as well.

Thanks!

One thing that stands out is that you need 3 of the same drive for a RAID5 array.

To be entirely correct, you will only have access to the storage of the smallest drive in the array and the performance of the slowest will restrict performance. So an SSD and 2 hard drives would work, it just is not a good design decision.
