Have any opinions on this build? It's mainly going to be used for gaming on a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution.

P.S I'm so not just trying to find ways to burn time away because I'm super impatient waiting for it ^^.

looks good, is it for gaming? guessing you have already ordered it?

I'd have gone for i'd gone for AMD BULLDOZER FX-4170 @4.2 instead of the six core.

also get a bigger case or drop the titan, as the side fan on the t900 will be removed due the to titan evo being massive.

Oh damn, really? I had no idea about that, thanks for saying. I'll ammed that right away. Yah the PC is for gaming, so the fx-4170 is better? How is that?

Yeah it has been ordered.. probably driving you guys mad with all the ammendments I've made x.x

well the AMD BULLDOZER FX-4170 @4.2 is better suit for gaming than the AMD BULLDOZER SIX CORE FX-6200 @3.8 as games don't use 6 cores at the moment, only the most recent games use 4 cores, also the quad core is faster than the 6 core, a so a stronger quad core will be better for suited for gaming, however, the 6core would be better for heavy cpu intensive tasks. If you do more gaming than other cpu intensive stuff i'd certainly get the stronger quad core, I think it may be cheaper too.

also i'd certainly think about upping the case, i mentioned it in my post before, if it was my rig i'd look no further than the cm690 II, clicky gives you great cable management, cooling and customisation.

The case looks good buddy but I don't think I can change the case now that it's at the in-building stage of production

I think you should be able to but there might be an additional charge and the possibility of a delay in the order.

Changed the fx-6200 to a fx-4170, changed the titan fenrir evo to a 22dba tripple copper heatpipe and changed the gtx 560ti to a gtx 570

job's a good one?

case will be fine now you have the triple copper cooler, although if they let you, i'd still change it.
