I shall and hopefully it wont take too long.

It looks like it got bent, but you should still be able to mount fans on it using the clips unless the frame of the fan doesn't sit flat with the cooler at all.

I tried to mount the included fan, and the slimmer case fan included in the rvz01 but at the end (towards the PCI-E 16x slot) the fan can't mount because it is hitting the ram modules. 

Hey guys, 

I am not quite sure if I should be posting this in troubleshooting but I mounted the fin array onto the processor but I couldn't get the fan on. I found that the fin array is on an angle which prevents the fan from being attached when the ram is present. Have I mounted it wrong or has the cooler been damaged in shipping because all the pictures I have seen of it are perfectly horizontal. 

Here's a photo I took with my phone:

Wow, this is such an awesome give-away. Antec is pretty damn cool. Those parts would be awesome for a silent build. 

I think I'll go with the HyperX Fury sticks, but thanks for the suggestions!

Have you checked to see if the RAM height won't interfere with the CPU cooler? HyperX Beast is quite tall, and I'm not certain if the gap between the cooler and the RAM will be sufficient.

I have been looking into it and according to Silverstone's website the HyperX Beast module wont fit. Only low profile memory will fit it seems.

Thanks JEman

so the first one i sowedbut whats your max budget

Sorry, it is $1600 excluding the OS

Hey whats your max budget and what are you doing on this system

I will be both doing 3D modelling/rendering with Inventor as well as Revit. It will also be using the rig as a gaming machine. I do need the motherboard to have wifi, there is no way I can get an Ethernet cable to the modem from where the computer will be.

EDIT: Also, thanks for al the quick replies!

I am planning to order this tonight but I am just wanting to make sure everything is compatible before I do so.

Here is my planned build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Dapaz/saved/Y4pD4D

Thanks in advance.

Sweet, thanks a heap

I have tried to look around for information about this but, I was wondering if you could fit a slim DVD drive with this GTX 970 (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1692&products_id=29359)  in the Silverstone Rvz01?

A 980 would be fantastic in my upcoming build.

Oh ok, I didn't know that there were problems with that card, sorry!

No problem. I don't know for certain but I think I remember seeing a topic about it in the news section a day or two ago.

It's a little over the budget, but I think this would work, and also you'd be able to get more out of your CPU and your GPU.

Thank you for the build James!

I heard that the EVGA 970 had some temp issues so I am a little hesitant with purchasing it especially when it gets really hot in my room during summer.

Thank you for the build. I'll consider it along with any other recommendations I receive. 

I was under the impression that Broadwell wasn't being released until later on in the year but I am would certainly get the latest i5 or i7 and the z series board. I've haven't been able to find an EVGA magnesium cooler on PC Case Gear but I think Galaxy (or Galax now, I think?) may have a cheap plastic cooler.

EDIT: 

I can only find a plastic Galax reference 970 with a horrendous blue pcb on PC Case Gear

Hello LTT Forum,

I am hoping to build my first pc after I graduate in a couple months time. This rig will primarily be used for gaming on ultra settings at 1080p, however, I am looking to purchase a 1440p or 21:9 1080p monitor after I save up more money. Also, I will be doing some occasional rendering in Autodesk Inventor and Rivet. I am aware that this is a while before I intend to build it but I have to clear this through my parents, so they can decide if it is okay for me to purchase the parts.

First of all, this (http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/wLYZWZ) is the build I want to do and I was hoping advice could be given on how to improve it in anyway.

Secondly, my room where the pc will be housed is directly below the room where our modem is currently located, thus I may have to settle for a pc with an on-board wifi card. My max budget is around $1600 (Australia) and I am wondering if you could advise me on a build that would be the best price/performance, but would allow me to connect to my modem via wifi. I already have all necessary peripherals, however an OS is needed, but it does not need to be included in the $1600 budget.

Thank you in advance

I have two signed copies of Gears of War 3. That's about it though.

I think my up/down speeds are the worst...

As I'm about to graduate at the end of the year, I can safely say that you really don't need a girlfriend in high school. I've managed to survive 5 years of being single and so has the majority of my friendship group (I go to an all guys school, so I don't really have a choice in the matter). To be honest I find high school relationships to be highly overrated based on certain stories I've heard...

any SO-DIMM DDR3 with 1333 MHz should be fine.

Thanks, I'll let him know

If it is a non-Retina Macbook Pro it is most likely upgradeable. Pretty much any brand should work fine.

He has a 2011 Macbook Pro without a retina display. Also, does he only have to match Ram speeds or is there any other things he has to match?

My friend has a Macbook Pro with 4gb of ram but he needs (wants) to get an extra 4gb. Is he able to purchase any SoDimm ram (I assumed that it would use SoDimm ram) or will he have buy the some proprietary ram?
