I AM HELIGON, HEAR ME ROAR!!!!

SILVERSTONE HE02 CPU Cooler
SILVERSTONE HE02 CPU Cooler

Pros: this thing is just huge I would trust this thing to cool my car engine. regardless of its size it blocks nothing (unless you add a fan see other thoughts.) I have four g.skill ripjaws x series with those nnice big heat spreaders and they don't even touch. you do have to take it off though to add more ram unless you are the master of angles but that's not that complex.

Cons: due to its large size install is a bit of a pain in the buttox but I found a way around it. put on every single mounting part specific to your setup and then slide the heatsink under the middle bar so in theory you only have one side to screw in and make sure you have a very long screwdriver

Overall Review: so about adding a fan. you can add a fan in either a push or pull setup but the problem I ran into is that if you have it situated horizontally so that its length is longer then its height then it might block your first pci-e slot with a fan attached I assume with a bit of tinkering you could set it up verticall so that its offset upwards but ill do some measurements on that. im running off of the asus maximus VI hero 1150 so I assume anything else that is atx and obv e-atx will be a perfect fit sfor anything you want to add also in-win gr one case full atx tower it is roughly 8 inches tall give or take so make sure your case is wide enough

Pros: this set in general is a very good gaming kit. ill get to the keyboard last because its why I put -1 egg. the mouse is amazing I absolutely love it it has decent weight and two extra buttons on the side. I use those for just about everything in games. also it has multiple dpi settings which you can quickly change on the fly with a setting change. onto the headset. its good quality sound wise and the biggest thing to me is that it fits my head!!! I have a huge head lol. onto the keyboard its very nive layout pretty standard nothing crazy I don't use the macros much cuz I don't play mmos.

Cons: the only problem I had is with the keyboard ts not as advertised. the real imperator keyboard has customizable leds for backlighting and two usb ports in the back they should atleast point out that its a downgraded version but apart from that it is pretty nice

Intel Core i7-3970X Extreme Edition - Core i7 Extreme Edition Sandy Bridge-E 6-Core 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) LGA 2011 150W Desktop Processor - BX80619i73970X

Pros: Quite possibly the fastest processor out at the moment.

Cons: See other thoughts.

Overall Review: Obviously this is like absolute top of the line computing procssors but how much do you really need it. Unless your career is hased upon video editing/encoding you do not truthfully need this. With the new haswell processors you can get plenty of performance out of the 4770k with about a 700$ price drop. Be smart with your money ppl and know what its meant for before you buy it.

pre-build first impression

IN WIN GRone Gray 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: it has ALOT of room it looks like it can easily fit any motherboard (as it says it can) and any gpu you can find. cables are very organized before you play with it so you know what you got. the bottom 3.5 trays are extremely easy to remove it took me more time to find a small screwdriver. comes with plenty of fasn but im still buying more. :P

Cons: the only reason I took it down an egg was because I was looking in the 5.25 bays and im not really sure how to put a cd/dvd drive in there without having to break off a piece of metal blocking it. if anyone knows a way to do tht without having to mod the case good for you.

Overall Review: mind you all I have not yet tried putting anything into this case it is all just my first impression. just another thing not so much a con just a though when you take the bottom drive bays out the fans that come preinstalled in the front block one of the mounting spaces that are opened up when removing the bays for another fan so I guess you have to just make a choice there personally I will be keeping it how it is.
