Thanks for your input! Guess I'll make the bottom an exhaust. Now that you've said it, makes a lot more sense.

What you've chosen looks good to me without knowing lots about each part in detail. PSU wattage is fine, especially if you don't overclock. I believe you can get Windows cheaper than that, though. Maybe add a small SSD, they're not very costly and give a nice speed boost. A larger monitor with...

I'm planning to build a system with a BitFenix Prodigy M and am trying to figure out how to organize the airflow inside. Here's a scheme of what I've figured out so far: The GPU and PSU size should be pretty accurate. Airflow is from top to bottom to not conflict with GPU intake (the effect of...

On picking RAM, just take one of the big ones. It's pretty much all the same. I chose Corsair Vengeance (low profile), rather cheap and supposedly high quality.

I see the Corsair Carbide series allows no top fan, so someone would have to rate how much of a negtive impact this would be. Else it looks really good. EDIT: Forgot to mention I meant the whole series. The cube one specifically is just waay too large. The Obsidian has no side fan mount, so it...

As long as you do nto plan on keeping your build for a very long time or expanding it later, your PSU wattage seems oversized. Try downgrading it to 600W, which should save you some money.

These are very strong parts for business usage. May I ask if you'll do some kind of heavy computing with that PC or just wasting money because of perfectionism? We'd be able to help you better if we knew the purpose / goal you try to achieve.

Hello, during choosing the parts for my first custom built PC I have stumbled upon Tom's Hardware (both articles and forums) a lot, and now decided to post my planned configuration here, for a viability check by more experienced builders. Parts to be bought: CPU: Intel Core i-5 4670K (to be...
