I see 2 major issues with that build.
First, do not go and spend $1500 on a computer and then use a $20 walmart keyboard. That is retarded. Go buy something decent from logitech; you can get a $25 logitech keyboard from newegg that is lightyears better than the *edited* walmart carries.
Second, do not spend $1500 on a computer and trust your computer to a raidmax power supply. Seriously. Get something from a major brand please: Thermaltake, Antec, Coolermaster, OCZ, etc. Believe me, you will regret it if you don’t.
Other than that it should be a nice computer for you!
I would save the money you’re wasting on an aftermarket CPU cooler and that 20 bucks and buy a G15 series keyboard.

Out of 10 reviews 20% are bad reviews lol.

That means that only 2 reviews are bad. That’s usually pretty typical of online reviews…
I’d up the graphics card to a 4870, because they’re cheap, and they’re pretty much the same EXACT card as the 4890, and when put into a crossfire with another 4870 is as good as anything you’ll ever use for ANY game. I crossfire 2 4870’s, and I play GTAIV on maximum.
hey if you havent bought this yet, might want to consider switching to the new i7 series or the i5 series.
I completely forgot I posted this on here. Yea it is built and looks awesome….. its a really cool paperweight at the moment. thanks for all the advice and yea with the keyboard I forgot to clear up my shorthand. I’m going to probably get the cheapest keyboard I can find and then drop 30 or so on one after Christmas.

Why? I did it. I bought a $10 Micro Innovations keyboard from Walmart at least six years ago maybe more and I still have it and it still works fantastically. I’m not really sure why people need expensive keyboards to type on.

If you used a quality keyboard, you would understand.
I have broken a few mouses and keyboards because of anger issues at games but logitech is the way to go!
