I made a post about 5 days ago showing all the components of a build that I was going to buy. After reviewing all the components, I realized that there were more less expensive and better performing components out there. So here it is.


Mother.- ASRock Z77 Extreme4
CPU- i5 2500k
Power- Antec 750W green series
Graphics- GtX 560ti
Case- Corsair Carbide Series 400R ATX Mid Tower case
RAM- Corsair vengence 8GB
DVD-ROM- Asus DRW

Leave a comment and a rate from 1-10 pleaseeeee. I desperately need your guys opinions!

You're going to want an after-market CPU cooler than like the Hyper 212 at the low price point or the NH-D14 at the high price point. Make sure you get a low profile kit of RAM without cheesy tall heatsinks.

EDIT: FYI, the Antec 900 is years old now and has gotten left behind in the industry and has zero cable management options. There are a lot better cases out there like the CM Storm Enforcer, Fractal R3, Corsair 400r, HAFX-M, Zalman Z11, etc.

- Rosewill BLACKHAWK
- Corsair Carbide Series 400R
- NZXT Phantom 410
- BitFenix Shinobi
- HAF 912
- Zalman Z9
- Zalman Z11
- HAF 922 ( not the best cable management )
- Antec One
- Fractal R3 <---
- CM 690
- Lian Li K62

All $100 or less.

That's to name a few. They're all great contenders and have decent to good build quality and features without restricting air flow.

I think I'm going to go with the carbide series. Sound good?

It's a good case! The rest of the build is fine.

The 750w Antec is more than enough for this system + more. Again, the build is fine and compatible.
